How do you force a CIFS connection to unmount

I have a CIFS share mounted on a Linux machine. The CIFS server is down, or the internet connection is down, and anything that touches the CIFS mount now takes several minutes to timeout, and is unkillable while you wait. I can't even run ls in my home directory because there is a symlink pointing inside the CIFS mount and ls tries to...

Samba, CIFS and Deleting Files

So I've got a Samba share located on server A. I have that share mounted to two other servers, B and C. The idea is that B and C need to write temporary files to a single location so that multiple background processing jobs (also running on B and C) have access to the same pool of files. When the background processes are complete they ...

Static files served from CIFS Windows share through nginx/Ubuntu aren't fully sent to the browser.

We have a Rails app with nginx front end. Users can upload files, which are stored on a Windows network share, and retrieve them later. The uploaded files are served statically through nginx. Downloading an image, for example, will only download a portion of the original image. Refreshing the page successfully downloads a little more of...

I need to make a CIF share available for services that start various ERP application services

I have a batch file with the net use command to map a share. I converted the batch script into an exe and called it by creating a service. The EXE works fine when I run it and maps the drive. When I invoke it through a service, it returns an error, "System did not respond within 3000 milliseconds" and it errors out. How do I make a sh...

Cross-platform build UNC share (Windows->Linux) - possible to be case-sensitive on CIFS share?

To optimize builds between Windows and Linux (Ubuntu 10.04), I've got a UNC share of the source tree that is shared between systems, and all build output goes to local disk on each system. This mostly works great, as source updates and changes can quickly be tested on both systems, but there's one annoying limitation I can't find a way ...

Open Java SMB server implementation

Is there an open implementation of a SMB/CIFS server in Java? The only implementation I can find at all is Alfresco's but it isn't open source. A related question: assuming there is no such implementation, I'm surprised there isn't a library providing even a subset of SMB e.g. for simple file transfer. My intuition is that it wouldn't b...
