On an FC4 client, I'm mounting an smbfs filesystem over the network. In /etc/fstab, I have
//server/share /mount/point smbfs credentials=/home/user/.smbcreds,noauto,user 0 0
The user's .bash_profile contains the actual mount command, which goes off without a hitch. Consequently, the user can issue
$ umount /mount/point
when necessary.
It's all well and good, until the user connects to the FC4 client twice, and runs two xterms which both source .bash_profile.
Now the mount command has been issued twice, so here's what happens:
$ umount /mount/point umount: it seems /mount/point is mounted multiple times
Well, yes, it has been mounted multiple times; but how can the user unmount it now?

Should script such that the share isn't mounted unless it isn't already mounted.

One should be able to use ps to find the PID of the mounts and kill them directly i believe.
ps ax | grep mount
then kill -9 the corresponding PID's
Hope this helps.

something like -
#!/bin/bash MOUNT='/bin/mount' MOUNTPOINT='/mount/point' if [ "`$MOUNT | grep "$MOUNTPOINT"`" = "" ] then mount /mount/point fi

Nice idea, but here's what happens in practice. When I kill'ed the mount processes, they died off... but mount output still shows the mounts as hanging around, and umount still shows the "multiple times" message! What makes it even worse is that although mount thinks the mounts are active, the processes have been killed, and doing an ls inside those mount points results in long waits and timeouts.

OK... tried and seen...
as root#: umount -f <the mount point>; umount <the mount point>;
This worked for me when i tried it...

Mount does not leave an active process running. Thus this would have no affect. Did you test your idea?
Hope this helps.

Yea... I've done it in the past mostly when accidentally mounting a samba share that was already mounted. I killed the mounts and it worked.
Tried it today on my current machine and had no effect. I posted the solution that worked for me.
Hope this helps.
