Thanks, Steve....that makes sense. However I can't unmount as it thinks the share is busy, and I did restart the windows - is there any way i can manually flush the names on the internal cache? Thanks, Jenny.
In Linux, when you try to umount a filesystem and Linux says it's busy that means that a Linux program has a file open on the filesystem concerned. Often this is a program which was started with it's current directory on that filesystem.
Have a look at the fuser command which can tell you which processes have files open on a filesystem so you can close them down or kill them off. Once you have no Linux processes with files open on the filesystem then you should be able to umount it.
