It looks like this has been posted before, but no resolution.

I execute cifsumount on a share i had mounted and it says it's no longer mounted.

I am able to stop and start the cifsclient with no errors, but when I do a bdf or cd to the old mount point I get NFS rpc errors

/dev/symm01/ora_tmp
5144576 130323 4701546 3% /tmp/ora
NFS getattr failed for server nastest: RPC: Timed out
NFS access failed for server nastest: RPC: Timed out
NFS fsstat failed for server nastest: RPC: Timed out
bdf: /cvdtech: Connection timed out

It still shows in mnntab.

How can i get rid of this?

Hi Doug,

I'm afraid you only have one solution reboot.

Good luck,

ECCCH.

If I have to do that, there is bloodshed likely, and I just bought this shirt....

[Robert-Jan Goossens]

Reboot is only the option.....and buy a new shirt :-)

Having tried cifsumount -f, cifslogout, and even umount_cifs ( i don't seem to have this one in my version.)

I posted to HP support, and got:

" it appears that they may have become what we call "stale" and to remove them you
can try to go into the directory of /opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsclient force_umount
/nameofmountpoint "

Stopping client, then running this worked for me. Points to HP !

So, I kept my shirt. ( good thing, they can still chew on the tail, instead of my...)

Oh, good.!Thanks for that tip
