SMB and not disconnecting

[Mi And]

Hi,

I sometimes forget to dismount a SMB share form a Windows Server before disconnecting my iBook physically from the network and have a lot of trouble afterwards getting the system running correctly again (the famous rotating color ball appears, harddisk operations, etc.).

Is there a possibility to sort of "kill" an smb mount painfree? Because dismounting it from Finder seems to not work sometimes when the computer is already physically disconnected from the network.

Help appreciated,
Mi

Try unmounting it from the command line:

umount /path/to/smb/mount
