(dmesg). $ cat /proc/mounts | grep smb //kara/Backup1 /mnt/backup smbfs rw,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0 It seems to be mounted. dmesg says: smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec > The entry in mtab is written by smbmnt and one way to get this would be if > the mount fails, but after smbmnt has written and then for some reason it > fails to cleanup. smb definetaly works, as I can browse it with the smb gnome-vfs module, as well as smbclient. I'm failing to see why the /mnt/backup directory just "disappears from there". $ file /mnt/backup /mnt/backup: can't stat `/mnt/backup' (No such file or directory). This is weird. Do you have any more things I could try ? Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
