fs-cifs, mount point and others

Hi,

if there is a FILE with the same name as the mount point of a
fs-cifs command … the machine locks up or is loosing 98%
of its performance (800Mhz Celereon)

Killing fs-cifs doesn’t help completely … the machine remains slow
(~50% of its performance).

fs-cifs locks up the file manager after ~5-10 minutes after mounting
a SAMBA volume of a Red Hat machine.

After killing fs-cifs it works again ~-5-10 minutes … very
annoying, what’s the problem?.

hi Armin,

this seems strange - however: is that necessary to have FILE as file and
as mount-pount ? did
you check ‘ls -l /proc/mount’ - just a guessing hint (don’t know whether
you find something there)

I had also a strange problem with fs-cifs on a SUSe-Linux Samba server:
after a (long) while - and I cannot put together where/when that happens

  • fs-cifs crashes … I switched to NFS on the Linux-box :slight_smile:
