#40 Input/Output error

[Filip Miletic]

Using Fedora Core 4, and shfs 0.35.

Very often, shfs mounted filesystem breaks, and reports
Input/Output error, especially when I use it to watch
videos.

I mount a partition with video streams and use gxine to
play. If I stop the playback by closing the gxine
application with the appropriate window button (thus,
not by pressing the 'stop' icon), the shfs mounted
volume freezes and familiar I/O errors start occuring.
It is not possible to unmount such a volume.

I have the same problem.
In one particular case, I mounted the remote machine under
/mnt/myth. After that I ran shfsumount /mnt/myth/ and got:
shfsumount: Device or resource busy

Then I ran (as root) lsof /mnt/myth/ and it returned

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
amarokapp 29569 testuser 17r DIR 0,18 512 2 /mnt/myth/

After running killall amarokapp, I get "/mnt/myth:
Input/output error" when running the "shfsumount /mnt/myth/"

seems that shfs can't whithstand abnormal exits....
