I am running debian stable ppc on an old mac G3 laptop. I have 2
mounted network drives - one mounted via samba is on a macOSX panther
system, and the other a netware filestore mounted via ncpfs. Here is my
relevant fstab entries:
//193.x.x.x/YellowDog /mnt/mic smbfs username=xxxx,password=xxxx
ServerName/user.name /mnt/SDrive ncp
defaults,volume=xxx/xxx,ipserver=dns.hostname,server=ServerName,user=user.name,passwd=xxx,multiple
0 0
Both volumes mount fine initially however after a while (a few hours in
the case of the netware drive, a day or 2 in the case of the OSX drive)
I seem to lose the connection - if I try & 'ls' in the mounted
directories, I get
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
If I umount & then mount the drives, everything is fine again. However
I'm having to remount them several times a day! I have looked through
/var/log but couldn't find anything relevant. The OSX system is
certainly up 24/7, bar the odd reboot, and the no-one who accesses the
netware filestore through windows reports any dropped connections there.
Any ideas what's going on? Why is the connection dropping, or how do I
find out why it's dropping? Is there anything I can do (short of
scheduling regular cron jobs to remount them) to ensure they reconnect
if they connection is lost?
