unmount a bad smb share

[gsfgf]

I'm using smb to mount network drives since nfs won't work and all coms that need to mount via smb are running linux.

It works good except when the connection is lost (com restared or something) i can't unmount the share. How can i force an unmount umount -f doesn't work killing smbmount doesn't do it either. I can remount the share to a different dir, though.

dont know howto 'umount -f'
but i 100%ly recommend using NFS because of missing mount-problems (like yours) and performance...

'nfs won't work' sounds a bit superficial, of course it does work :)

sorry if this doesnt help u....

If all the systems are linux, then I would agree with gsfgf; use nfs.

NFS is much higher performing and very very reliable (unlike CIFS).
