Hi,
If i mount a remote share on my linux box and if the remote share goes offline, i am unable to umount the directory. The linux box just stucks up. Is it possible to umount stale connections? |

Hi,
"umount /mnt/your_share -f" should work fine - atleast for stale NFS-mounts. Try your luck with SMB...

-l (l as in lazy) works for me on SMB shares.
Switched to CIFS, though. I think it's more unstable, but it works better for my shares (I used to get incomplete directories using smbfs) |
