    I have my computer connected to a Windows 2000 share via samba. I
    have problems, however, if that server is ever restarted. The mount
    point becomes inaccessable (i.e. 'ls' gives and error), and I cannot
    umount it ('server is busy' error). A umount -f does not work either.

    The only option I have found is to restart, which I hate to do.

    Any suggestions on how to avoid this, or at least how to get it re-mounted?

    I am mounting the server via /etc/fstab, with the following line:

    //xeon/c /xeon smbfs
    credentials=/etc/mypasswords,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0

    (BTW, what does the '0 0' at the end do? I have never understood those numbers)

    Thanks,

    Kirk
