Renamed a mount point
Newbish thing to do, but using Konqueror, I renamed a folder which was mounted to a Windows file server (on another machine). I happened to then open the folder and see that there were the the contents from the Windows machine. I renamed it back to the original, removed the proper line from fstab, and rebooted.
I browsed to the folder and it still displays the contents of the windows file share (from another machine - this is a single boot 9.2 Suse box). I deleted a file in there and checked on the windows box and sure enough the file was deleted.
So, my issue is that I want to remove this mounted volume, however, trying:
/winmnt/ # smbumount winserv1
yeilds:
/winmnt/winserv1 probably not smb-filesytem
so I try
/winmnt/ # umount winserv1
and get
umount: winserv1: not mounted
I tried the above with the full path as well. So, I can disconnect the box from the network, reboot, and delete the folder, and I figure on subsequent reboots I'll see an error which will let me know how this is being mounted but I'd like to figure this one out.
I've since renamed the folder again, and it continues to behave in the same manner (reestablishing connection after reboot). The Windows box requires a username and password, so maybe KDE has that cached somewhere? I don't have an active window on the desktop when I am rebooting.
I'm running kde 3.3, and checked my home /.kde/autostart in case some script was making the connection somehow.
I can't seem to track this one down. I'm a Linux starter thinking I'm doing pretty good, but just self demoted myself back to newb/luser after this one.
Any pointers would be welcome.
