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.
