I use Mandrake on my main workstation but I installed Debian on my laptop (Latitude LM 166MMX 40mg ram)
Im new to debian. I installed samba to make sure that I got everything.

In mandrake I used

mount -t smbfs -o username="username",password="password" //"windows machine"/"share point" /mnt/"mount point"

I tried this on the laptop and this is what I got.

tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/run/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
mount error: Device or resource busy
Please refer to the smbmnt(8) manual page
smbmnt failed: 255

I looked in teh smbmnt man page but didntquite make sense to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Well it is working. Duh should check the mount point and see if anything is there. But having this error is still bothersome.

Thanks again.
