Bug Description
Binary package hint: smbfs
I have a script that I have been using since warty, for mounting a smb share. After Dapper, the script completely freezes the laptop. I tried it on another laptop, same thing. I copy the script and paste it into a bash.. works fine. Here is the command:
<sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=
I can remove the dmask and fmask options and the command works (totally messing up permissions.. but I had to start trying something).
The file is marked executable.. blah, blah.. but this worked for over a year until Dapper...
Thanks!

Imidiately after upgrading from breezy 5.10 to dapper 6.06 I had a very similar situation which I finaly resolved. Details follow:
MY SITUATION cp737,iocharset =8859-7, \ xx,password= yy, \ 777,fmask= 777
-------------------
I was not able to mount using smbfs either by directly issuing the mount command or by putting entries in the fstab
e.g. commands like this:
#mount //192.168.0.42/foo /media/foo/ -o \
codepage=
username=
dmask=
where hanging
MY RESOLUTION ------- ------- -
-------
I've disabled samba Unix Extensions[1] and did a filesystem check for my / filesystem ( fsck -f /dev/hda1 from within a knopix CD) and everything returned to normal. I don't know which of the two solved the problem.
[1] To disable the Unix CIFS Extensions you have two options www.ubuntuforum s.org/showthrea d.php?t= 188027
a) if you have acces to the Samba server, add the following line to smb.conf:
unix extensions = no
b) if you don't follow this thread
