        Hello,
        I have some windows machines in my lan at home and wanted to mount
    their shares. This works fine untill the windows machine is rebooted or
    crashes. I can not kill processes that make use of the share 'cause they
    are in 'D' state (ps xaw) and AFAIK such processes can not be killed
    even with kill -9. Can someone suggest a workaround/fix for this? I know
    I can use kde/gnome to browse the windows network directly, but this is
    too slow and not all programs can make use of it. Will automount fix
    the problem and if so, can someone give example configuration please.
    (FC1 fully updated till today).
        I also want to ask will cifs solve this problem and will it work
    with Win9x?
