[olug] Auto remount a windows share when connection is broken

[Ryan Stille]

I am using smbmount to mount a windows share on my linux server.  
Sometimes the connection gets severed somehow, and running umount and 
smbmount again fixes it.

Is there a way to have this happen automatically?  Put it in fstab and 
tell it to always keep the connection up or something?

My plan B is to have a perl script run every minute, check the mount and 
if its down unmount it and remount it.  This won't be simple though 
because I think the check may hang depending on how 'down' (severity) 
the mount is...
