RE: [microblaze-uclinux] Sporadic disconnects of smbmount

Ok,

for those of you facing the same problem. Here’s is the solution:

The mounted folder will be disconnected after some time IF NOT USED. After searching some (very old) linux forums this has something to do with the kind Windows is providing the shares. So, all you have to do is doing some file operations from time to time.

In my case I made a little tool which opens and closes a dummyfile every 2 minutes.

Hi,

finally I got smbmount working (mounting WinXP shares). But now I have another problem: The mounted share sporadically disconnects after some time.

After googling I found some (very old) posts describing the exact same problem. Might this has something to do with that? If so, does anyone knows a way to prevent that?

Greetings,
