I'm having some problems with smbfs on ppc.
The attached file contains all the details. Am I doing something wrong?

Has smbfs worked for you with previous versions? A patch was added late to
2.4.18 and it has caused a lot of crashes for people. I don't think it is
related, but since you mention 2.4.18 ...

I never tried the previous versions of it.

mount only prints the contents of /etc/mtab. What does /proc/mounts say?
Do you have any kernel messages? (dmesg).

$ cat /proc/mounts  | grep smb
//kara/Backup1 /mnt/backup smbfs rw,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755 0 0

It seems to be mounted. dmesg says:
smbfs: Unrecognized mount option noexec

The entry in mtab is written by smbmnt and one way to get this would be if
the mount fails, but after smbmnt has written and then for some reason it
fails to cleanup.

smb definetaly works, as I can browse it with the smb gnome-vfs module,
as well as smbclient. I'm failing to see why the /mnt/backup directory
just "disappears from there".

$ file /mnt/backup
/mnt/backup: can't stat `/mnt/backup' (No such file or directory).

This is weird. Do you have any more things I could try ?

Cheers
