So far I haven't found what the pattern is, but it's quite annoying. I haven't been able to track down exactly what causes it, I would suggest placing all of your smb shares in /etc/fstab instead of rc.local, somewhat similar to this: //machine/share /directory smbfs uid=user,gid=group,username=smbusername,password=smbpasswd,rw I've found that this usually works for me, I played around with the various options on the shares I had in /etc/fstab by commenting out all of them and uncommenting them one by one after doing a umount -a -tsmbfs and mount -a -tsmbfs from the command line after booting. -- Shawn <drevil@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.warpcore.org/
