Hi
A couple of times, I've had a mildly irritating problem with mounted smb shares where the machine supplying the share isn't available after the mount has taken place. I'm not entirely sure where the problem lies, so this seems as good a place as any to mention it.
I run VMWare for mail and online banking and I often mount the VMWare Win98 virtual disk using Samba to transfer files. If VMWare crashes, or X crashes, or I simply shutdown VMWare without unmounting the smb share from Linux, then reboot my machine (running RedHat 6.0 with a 2.2.10 kernel), it gets to the stage of unmounting filesystems (specifically the smb shares) and just hangs. I've left it for up to 10 minutes to see if it would time out, but it seems to be waiting indefinitely. It's quite irritating because the main partitions have not yet been unmounted, so when I am forced to hard reset, fsck checks the partitions (as they have been uncleanly unmounted). On 15Gb of partitions, this takes quite a while!
Is it something I'm doing wrong with my setup, or is it a fixable bug?
