Want to refresh Samba shares automatically after Windows reboot

[emmanuel]

Hello all,

When I reboot a Windows PC on my network, the shares from Linux to that Windows PC (setup as mount points and networked via Samba as shares) do not work anymore; I need to first reboot Linux.

I suspect there is a solution for Samba/Linux (FC2) to refresh automatically to pick up the shares but cannot find the sulotion. :(

Could someone please assist me?

Kind regards
Emmanuel

service netfs restart

Thank you, haakonmm,

I attempted your suggestion; this did not refresh the mount points/shares.

I eventually rebooted FC2 to get going.

Besides, what I'm looking for is a automated way to refresh.

Any other suggested solution?

Kind reagrds

I don't know of a way to automaticly refresh....sorry!

But "service netfs restart" should work. Did you do it as root?

[emmanuel]

Yes as root.
