Re: [PLUG] weird mounting behavior

I have a couple of lines in /etc/fstab that mount two windows shares on two
different linux workstations I use at work. They work well on both machines.

I set up a Linux user and mapped her windows network folder to her computer
using one of the lines. Worked fine.

Here is an example of the line

//sloth/user/ron /mnt/H cifs
user,rw,uid=1002,gid=100,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,user=ron@COMPANY.ORG,password=password
0 0

This is an attempt to mirror the way our windows users connect to their
folders on the file server mappint their personal shares to H: on windows.
Users have windows "Full Control" over these folders. The parent folder
(//sloth/user) has its permissions set to allow users to browse to
sub-folders, but have no write/modify rights to //sloth/user itself. This is
because there are some departmentally shared folders that various users can
open and write to based on their departmental needs. Windows user machines
map this to U.

If I edit fstab to add the foregoing line everything works fine. If I add a
corollary line for //sloth/user, and execute a mount command, the other
mountpoint dies.

ls -l reports

d_______? ? ? 0 <mountpoint>

The other mount is fine. If I unmount both and remount them one craps out as
above. Doesn't matter which one, the second mounted partition wrecks the one
mounted first.

If I comment one out the other works fine.

This works on my machine but the setup is different as I log into //sloth/user
as windows domain administrator, but my personal share as myself/normal user.
The users I am trying this with are mounting as themselves on both shares.

Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do about it?
