[TriLUG] Newbie Question about smbclient

[Stephen Schaefer]

I've had them become effectively stale when I change
my windows password, or when the NT administrators
moved things around.  It was that or some other
circumstance that prevented me from unmounting and
remounting a working copy; I'm sorry, it's been a
while, so I don't have fresh details.  You can't
unmount, and you can't rmdir a directory with a file
system mounted on it, so the workaround was to rename
the directory with the stale mount (mv RDUNT01/Shared
RDUNT01/Shared.bad), recreate the directory name, and
remount.  After the next UPS draining power outage
forced a reboot, I could finally remove RDUNT01.bad.
