[ale] samba mounts just won't die....

[John Wells]

Guys,

Connecting to my company's vpn and using a few mounted samba dirs. 
Problem is, BS DSL will drop about half hour or so (forcing a reconnect,
which my firewall/router handles), and when it does, I have no way to
umount or kill any processes using those mounts short of rebooting.  If I
try to umount it, I get a busy message.  If I do an fuser -m /mysmbmnt,
the process hangs.  Any attempt to kill it fails.  If I do an ls
/mysmbmnt, same thing....process hangs, no way to kill it.

I assume the processes are hanging while doing some sort of read on the
dir, which effectively doesn't exist anymore.  Anyone know what I can do
to rid myself of the mounts (so I can mount again) when the DSL/vpn dies?

Thanks,
John
