[cobalt-users] mnt input output error - maybe dumb mistake

[Jim Dory <jdory@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's the problem:

[root/root]# cd /mnt
[root/root]# dir
dir: .: Input/output error

The error of my ways:

I am using this raq4r as a file share server with samba. I was testing 
my abilities at backups when I did this:
[root/root]# mount -t smbfs //123.456.789.123/c$ /mnt -o 
username=mine,password=mypasswd

Then I changed to /mnt and there were the files. Ok.. so next I tried 
umount. I did a man umount and I tried a few things, but the files were 
still there. I then logged off my computer and back on.. I think I then 
did a kill <pid# of mount smbfs>. Then I get the above error.

I know, I'm not too smart. But anyone help me out.. I don't really want 
to reboot unless I know that will help.. or should I wait until tomorrow 
to see if the nightly resetting of things changes anything.. or.??

Meanwhile I am googling and looking on the archives.. maybe something to 
do with proc? which I know nothing, nothing..

cheers, Jim   (and thanks).
