I have a mixed windows/linux network, and am looking to do file sharing over my LAN. Samba seems pretty good, except that mounted smb shares (in linux) sometimes lose connectivity. It really liked to do it when xmms crashed as I tried to add a directory to my playlist that was inside an smb share. If I tried to get a directory listing or change to the smb moutned directory, it would say input/output error. Has anyone seen this sort of problem before? I'd like to use samba, as I dont think that nfs is really very well supported in windows. Ideas? :)
Thanks, Mathew Johnston
