I've changed fstab, and did modprobe cifs and now get $ mount -t cifs //st/rich /mnt/st_rich/ mount error: could not find target server. TCP name st/rich not found rc = -1073743656 No ip address specified and hostname not found I tried $ mount.cifs //192.168.254.202/rich /mnt/st_rich/ retrying with upper case share name mount error 6 = No such device or address Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs) using smbmount I can mount the share ok. ?? rich On Thursday 26 May 2005 13:36, Clive Menzies wrote: > On (26/05/05 12:52), rich lott wrote: > > re: Sarge / Kde / konqueror / smbmounts > > > > Often when I mount a remote samba share and browse the share with > > konqueror, I can't unmount it after. mount complains that "device is > > busy". > > > > This happens when the mount point is not showing in konqueror, and no > > files are opened on the share by any other application. > > > > In fact, the only way I've found to unmount the files is to > > > > $ su root > > $ umount -l /mount/point > > > > When I used > > $ lsof | grep /mount/point > > > > I found that famd has the mount point open/engaged.
