Hello all, Haven't been here for ages. I previously suspended my account because the traffic was just too great, but since the recent downtime of the slug servers, my account has been re-activated, so I have a question maybe someone can help me with.
My machine at home runs Ubuntu 5.04. I use pptp-client to establish a vpn into my employers network. The receiving machine is possibly a Win2K server. I launch this from a script, like so; sudo umount /mnt/control.jobs sudo umount /mnt/control.prop sudo umount /mnt/control.jungle sudo umount /mnt/control.kzjungle sudo pon control updetach && sudo route add -net 10.0.0.0/24 ppp0 sudo mount /mnt/control.jobs sudo mount /mnt/control.prop sudo mount /mnt/control.jungle sudo mount /mnt/control.kzjungle There is a similar inverse script to umount the shares & bring down the tunnel. The remote shares are all listed in fstab, like so; //10.0.0.2/jobs /mnt/control.jobs smbfs rw, user, noauto, credentials=/etc/samba/user.cst, dmask=777, fmask=777 0 0 My file manager of choice is Krusader 1.51, which I launch with gksudo krusader. My problem is I often get one remote share randomly locking up. I often get error messages of; umount: /mnt/control.prop: device is busy which no amount of umount'ing will get rid of. Killing Krusadser is also no help. This is despite the fact that I haven't even attempted to use the offending share in any way. It also seems to pick shares at random. It's never the same one twice in a row. If I try & bring the tunnel back up, I get a message of; Could not resolve mount point /mnt/control.prop The only way I have thus far found to clear this situation is a re-boot. Any suggestions for a cure or a work-around are most welcome. Amanda Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
