Corruption of Samba mount points
It began with booting this morning. No wallpaper. No network shares
mounted (they are set to automount using systemd, but if I tried
accessing most of them, the error message contained the path of the
mount point followed by 'no such device'.
The mount points looked OK in a GUI file manager and also with mc. Doing
an ls-l of the parent directory showed a few mount points as normal, the
others showed the name and the 'd' of the permissions string, but
everything else was '?' marks.
Eventually tried umounting the affected points, and all was well after
that.
The same thing happened at the next boot of the day, it wasn't an
ephemeral glitch, though the mount points affected weren't exactly the
same ones.
I assume one of the upgrades to sid last night was responsible for
this, other computers have no problem seeing the same shares. Anyone
else seeing it, Google doesn't seem to find anything?
