Network mounted file systems periodically lose connection
I have several network shares (windows) mounted as such
//machine/share /mnt/mountpoint smbfs
credentials=/credfile,rw,user,gid=sambawrites,fmask=0774,dmask=0774 0 0
And on occasion the share just dies. I'm guessing the reason for the
death is something to do with our network, maybe a hiccup, or the
windows machine gets rebooted, or whatnot... in reality, I'm not too
concerned with the why though. What I want is resiliency such that the
links are immediately re-established. As it stands now, the mount
doesn't get unmounted or any such thing, I just get incredibly awful
performance if I try to access the share, and eventually it will timeout
and fail.
Is there a way to make these auto-reconnect on demand?
