Subjectsmbfs won't stay mounted, still
Does anybody know why a smbfs mounted share won't stay mounted?  Trying
to access the share, I get:

me2v:reliant src$ ls /mnt/winnt
ls: /mnt/winnt: Input/output error

The log says:
Sep 2 12:44:54 reliant kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3
Sep 2 12:44:54 reliant kernel: smb_retry: signal failed, error=-3

and mount:
me2v:reliant src$ mount -t smbfs
//winnt/f$ on /mnt/winnt type smbfs (0)

My current kernel is 2.2.12, and samba is 2.0.5a. I've had this problem
since samba 2.0.3, and all the 2.2.x kernels. The other end is NT WS
4.0 sp5. Since the log entry is generated by the kernel, I posted here,
in addition to the fact I can never get a reply to any message I send to
the samba and samba-technical mailing lists....

I have no idea if this is simply a password caching problem, or if the
smb server isn't getting a strong enough keepalive request, or what. Is
anyone else currently having similar problems?

I know there are some scripts running around to make sure the SMB share
is accessed on a regular basis, with a df > /dev/null or some such, but
that workaround shouldn't really be necessary.
