 |
|
This is the situation:
I have a Gentoo PC that I use simultaneously as my dhcp/router and as a desktop. I have a windows 7 PC that shares some directories.
On the Gentoo PC, I have in /etc/fstab
| Quote: | | //Athene/Video /home/media/mnt/Athene/Video cifs user,noauto,_netdev,soft,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/media/mnt/Athene/.smbcredentials,uid=1004,gid=100 0 0 |
With that command I can mount and access the share perfectly
Now the gentoo PC is rarely rebooted, while the Windows PC is rebooted almost daily.
In that situation, the following happens:
1. Gentoo mounts and access the teh share from teh windows PC flawlessly
2. The Windows PC reboots
3. The Windows PC now clearly has not memory of teh mounted state of the share.
4. The Gentoo PC still thinks it has a share mounted (as shown by the 'mount' command)
5. ANY command that stats the share (like ls, df, tab completion to the mount point, use a file manager to access the mount) results in the command hanging. There is no output, there is no error message, nothing in /var/log, no special activity visible in top or iotop.
6. The only way to get out of it is to kill the console or program or to kill the command (if possible). What could I change to make sure that on a reboot of the Windows PC, the Gentoo PC would notice that some existing mounts are not valid anymore and take appropriate action.
(Whatever appropriate may mean here - hanging is not among the options  ) |
