I'm running Linux Fedora Core 2 with Samba 3.0.3-5 installed. I'm experiencing some strange behavior when I try to mount a FAT32 share on a Win2k workstation. After a fresh reboot, when I try smbmount (or mount.smb) everything seems to work (no error messages). Then when I try to access the mountpoint - via Nautilus or by doing "ls" in a terminal - the system freezes. If I try smbumount I get "Device or resource busy." I have to use "umount -l" to unmount the share. What's weird is that the behavior is very erratic. If I start and stop nmb and smb a few times, and change some minor parameters with SWAT, and then try again, then smbmount works fine - I can browse the share with Nautilus, drag-and-drop, etc. Once I reboot, it all starts again. Here are the results of testparm: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = UCHI server string = %L running samba %v username map = /etc/samba/smbusers.map socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 [homes] comment = home on neronga path = %H valid users = %S read only = No hide special files = Yes hide unreadable = Yes hide unwriteable files = Yes browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [files] comment = network files on neronga path = /export/samba/files read only = No guest ok = Yes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
