smbmount freezes ls only the first time
I've been having problems with smbmount. I've noticed this on both my desktop
and laptop computers. Both are running sid, updated regularly. The symptoms of
the problem are:
- mount a share (either from samba on a linux server or from a windows server)
- cd to the mount point
- type ls
- ls freezes!
when I do a ps aux, the ls comes up as:
rwh 6288 0.0 0.1 1996 592 pts/6 D+ 16:29 0:00 ls --color=auto
So it's gone into an uninterruptable sleep, which generally means it's waiting
on IO. I can't kill it with ctrl-C or ctrl-\, nor with a kill or kill -9.
Now, here's the kicker. If I go mount the share elsewhere, it works fine! I've
had a bit of a poke around in the logs, but haven't found anything useful. Is
there a way that I can increase the debug level of the smbmount process?
Thanks,
Rob.
