weird fam/samba problem

Greetings; I have a machine out in the workshop that I occasionally mount via a samba share. Its a debian variant, hence this posting to both lists. At present, no shells are logged into it, nor any utilities are open to the share known as /mnt/shop-slash on this machine. But if I try to umount it, its busy! And lsof|grep shop returns this: --------------- fam 3661 root 194r DIR 3,7 4096 246527 /mnt/shop fam 3661 root 202r DIR 0,19 4096 2 /mnt/shop-slash fam 3661 root 206r DIR 3,7 4096 246215 /mnt/shop-emc fam 3661 root 207r DIR 3,7 4096 246216 /mnt/shop-homes --------------- the first and third/forth verses of that report only exist as unmounted dirs in the local /mnt dir, so why is fam apparently issueing a lock against them all? This system is an FC2 system, somewhat hacked but otherwise uptodate. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-) Yahoo.com and AOL/TW attorneys please note, additions to the above message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2006 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
