Then I remounted the share which was fine and the files were visible. Then as root did umount /mnt/F This just seemed to hang.... so I escaped out - and checked the contents of /mnt/F which was empty as if it had indeed umounted... but running mount gave /dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda8 on /home type ext3 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) //rentedfs/phys on /mnt/F type cifs (rw,mand) So the system still sees the mount as present! If I do umount /mnt/F again I get This utility only unmounts cifs filesystems. This utility only unmounts cifs filesystems. If I run the mount command again then I see two mounts listed in the output of the mount command ! If I try umount -f /mnt/F it just hangs again - the /var/log/messages output is Nov 17 13:45:00 gestalt kernel: CIFS VFS: RFC1001 size 35 bigger than SMB for Mid=11 Nov 17 13:45:25 gestalt kernel: CIFS VFS: server not responding Nov 17 13:45:25 gestalt kernel: CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 116 mid 11 Wierd -
