OK, we *now* have a reproducible test case: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> mkdir mnt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> smbmount "\\\\kheops\\files" mnt -o username=bubulle Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l mnt total 1096 .../... (files in the share) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> mount -t cifs //kheops/files on /home/bubulle/mnt type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=bubulle) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> smbumount mnt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -l mnt total 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> mount -t cifs //kheops/files on /home/bubulle/mnt type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=bubulle) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> As root: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> mount -t cifs //kheops/files on /home/bubulle/mnt type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=bubulle) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> umount /home/bubulle/mnt This utility only unmounts cifs filesystems. This utility only unmounts cifs filesystems. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> tail /etc/mtab .../... //kheops/files /home/bubulle/mnt cifs rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=bubulle 0 0 So, the point is that smbumount did *not* update /etc/mtab even though the umount succeeded. *this* is the bug I see here: not updating /etc/mtab when unmounting.
