    I am having a problem with my Samba connection to my Win2k box. When I
    have to reboot the win2k box (frequently, because of M$ security
    patches, and for application updates that don't know how to avoid the
    reboot problem), my FC3 box suddenly loses connection to the win2k box.
    The Win2k box can see the FC3 box happily both before and after the reboot.

    To correct the problem I am having to umount each win2k share and
    smbmount the share. However, one mount is stubbornly refusing to either
    umount or smbumount. The response to the umount command is:

    umount: /export/gandalfe: device is busy
    umount: /export/gandalfe: device is busy

    and then the smbmount command gives the following response:

    Could not resolve mount point /export/gandalfe

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to overcome this problem?
    Also, I would appreciate some feedback as to how to prevent the reboot
    of winblows causing the disconnection. Can FC3 detect the disconnection
      and attempt to reinstate the connections?
