True, but these are not induced errors by samba, only by a change on the NT domain. And with the newer versions I am able to mount/umount them on both my linux and solaris boxes here.
-----Original Message----- From: Stephen Schaefer [mailto:stephen_schaefer27517@;yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TriLUG] Newbie Question about smbclient I've had them become effectively stale when I change my windows password, or when the NT administrators moved things around. It was that or some other circumstance that prevented me from unmounting and remounting a working copy; I'm sorry, it's been a while, so I don't have fresh details. You can't unmount, and you can't rmdir a directory with a file system mounted on it, so the workaround was to rename the directory with the stale mount (mv RDUNT01/Shared RDUNT01/Shared.bad), recreate the directory name, and remount. After the next UPS draining power outage forced a reboot, I could finally remove RDUNT01.bad. - Stephen --- "Vestal, Roy L." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've never had that happen with these. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Joseph Tate [mailto:jtate@;dragonstrider.com] > Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:20 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [TriLUG] Newbie Question about > smbclient > > > It seems to me that SMTP mounts get stale after some > time.
