here is the story. i have two boxes on my net. one is my trusty linux debian woody (dist-upgrade to testing) i will call geekazoid. the other is a winxp box (i call frumpy) that i use as a gaming/file storage. frumpy is connect the the lan via
WUSB11. i have included an auto connect on boot via fstab from the linux to the winxp share drive. this is mounted in /xp. now my win box was down for 5-6 hours while i was at work (according to my wife) and geekazoid lost the connection. i got frumpy back up and running again and went to geekazoid to check the connection and upon "ls" i got
Code:
ls: .: Stale NFS file handle
i tried to umount and received
Code:
umount: /xp: devise is busy
i know that all i have to do is reboot and the problem is fixed but then that will fsck up my uptime. i am only on 3 days and i would like to see how far i can go. i know that there is a was to kill this connection, there has to be, with all the splender that is linux. if there is more information that anyone needs that i can give i will. can someone help please?
