Hi

I can exclude CIFS using df options to avoid the hang, but then I won't get any warning at all unless I find a better way to check the mounts. Suggestions? I have written an SMB test for Hobbit a few years ago, maybe this is what you are looking for. It writes a small file to a CIFS share, reads it and then deletes it using the smbclient program.

smb.ini:

Config file for the smb fileserver test (smb)

for each fileshare which should be tested we need a line giving the

servername and a sharename including testfile

Host User Passw Sharename

hostname userID Password my_share # this will test \\hostname\myshare with UserID "userID" and password "Password"
