unmounting samba partitions

Sometimes the samba partitions become inaccessible and need to re-mount them. However the normal umount method does not work. Here is what you can do:

CODE:
  1. umount -l /path/to/samba

The -l option tells the umount utility to perform a lazy umount:

Detach the filesystem from the filesystem hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the filesystem as soon as it is not busy anymore. (Requires kernel 2.4.11 or later.)
