Well, the original post from me was because fam had asserted locks on
the smb mounted devices, but only for the mounts coming from that
debian box, none of the rest of my smbmounts were affected. And I have
NDI what starts fam on this box, but I see that it was indeed restarted
with the last reboot. But now, I can mount and umount those device
paths without any interference from fam, so its not a 100% of the time
thing, and relegates itself to head scratcher status I guess. One of
those DamnedIfIknow things.
If it happens again, I'll see if the logs say anything, but I don't
recall seeing anything that might pull the light switch chain the last
time I looked for clues...
