<div>Hi All. I wonder if there is a better way to do what I am doing. My data is all stored on my XP machine. I use the following command after bootup:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>mount -t smbfs -o mythtv,password=xxxxx //xp/MyMovies /mnt/MyMovies</div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, if my XP machine loses power or network connectivity this share rarely, if ever, recovers. Worse yet is that I usually get an I/O error while trying not umount it. I've tried killing the [smbiod], killing all the
mount.smbfs processes, but sometimes the only way I can recover from this is to reboot and remount. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know using fstab would make it mount automatically on boot up, but I am not sure this would solve my problem. Would it? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I'm hoping someone else out there is also sharing from a windows machine TO their myth machine and not the other way around. Does anyone have a better, more graceful solution.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks, </div>
