#70 multiple mounts of samba_server
If you're starting over after mounting a samba_server clonezilla again askes to mount an image directory.
I chose samba_server again and ended up with an mount list which has two times the same samba share.
It appears to be only an optical problem but it should be fixed anyway.
Since there is also a misbehaviour on the user side (skiping the second time would be correct but isn't very intuitive) this maybe fixed with
a simple dialog.
Suggestions:
- Ask:there is allready an image directory mounted: Do you want to use it again or use an other one? or
- Unmount with every "start over" or
- unmount smaba shares before a new samba share is mounted
Note
- Maybe this problem also exists with other network services, I only tested cifs/smb
- This problem repeats: i managed to mount my share 3 times

Thanks for this bug report.
Did you mean in this step, although you have mounted a samba server:
http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/doc/01_Save_disk_image/images/ocs-07-img-repo.png
You still choose to mount it again so clonezilla mount that twice or more times?
You can choose "skip" actually.
Your suggestion is a good one, we will try to add another dialog to avoid multiple mounts.
Steven.
Yes I mounted it again. I know it's a operating error by the user. I think there maybe users who would be confused by the words "*NOT RECOMMENDED*"
But in my case it was the word "Memory!" confusing me: I thought clonezilla had allready unmounted the samba share or would do it by chooseing the skip option.
So may be this problem has two parts: the TUI maybe confusing and it shouldn't be possible to mount shares multiple times.
