[ltp] X freezing

[Tzonkov, Alex]

Well I do mount a volume using smbmount and do leave it idle for a while. Is
there a known problem with smbmount? I am pretty new to Linux , how can I
check to see that there are no IRQ problems?

It may be wise to avoid having SMB volumes mounted and left idle 
for long periods.  I don't really know what locks up X on mine 
but processes stumm when accessing the network drive after an idle period 
and at 9 crashes out of 10 I realise I hadn't umounted the drive.  Server 
timeout I suppose, I don't really care as I won't be using it in a few
months.

Yes it's very annoying not being able to switch out of X to look for
any error messages.  At least Fn+F4 still beeps.  Suspending may
offer a chance to recover if I can persuade it to.
