This section includes commonly asked questions about HP CIFS.
How
to Kill the Daemon with cifsclient stop |
 |
You should never kill the daemon process directly. Although
HP CIFS tries to unmount all mounted shares, it may not be successful
and the stale mounts will become unusable and cause problems. The
correct way to do it is with cifsclient stop.
Refer to “Step 4, Starting and Stopping the Client” in
chapter 2 in this manual for more detailed information about cifsclient
stop.
What
to Do if the Daemon Terminates |
|
If the daemon terminates, all shares served by HP CIFS will immediately
become unusable. Every access will hang until the NFS timeout (configured
in the configuration file) elapses. You can probably get away without
rebooting if you immediately terminate all processes using the mounts,
change all current directories from within the mounts and then use
the cifsclient force_umount <mountpoint> command
to unmount the stale mounts. Report the event to HP Technical Support and
describe how the problem can be reproduced.
