Mounted a remote SMB share with:/usr/pkg/sbin/shlight '//heather/shared' /windows -s win98
I couldn't see any files in the share until I locally added a file: "touch J". Then I could see the other files. Even when I copied new files to the share on the remote end, my NetBSD side wouldn't see them (until I touched a file locally).
When trying to read some files from the share with sylpheed (it was sending as attachments), sylpheed just hung in a "D" (process in disk or uninterruptable) state. I couldn't kill sylpheed. I tried to do a ls of / and ls hung. Anything that accessed /windows would hang in the "D" state.
unshlight is in "vfs_busy" state. And shlight is in "mntwcnt2" state.
I couldn't kill shlight and "unshlight -a" hung too. I did see some nfsiod threads which I could kill.
(36 hours later some of the processes finally were killed on their own.)
