Re: [CentOS] systemd automount of cifs share hangs

But if I start the automount unit and ls the mount point, the shell hangs and eventually, a long time later (I haven't timed it, maybe an hour), I eventually get a prompt again. Control-C won't interrupt it. I can still ssh in and get another session so it's just the process that's accessing the mount point that hangs.

I don't have a solution, but I wanted to point out this same hang happened to me recently with a Myricom 10Gb card. Apparently Myricom drivers do not support CentOS 7 smb connections, although HTTP traffic works fine. I solved it by switching to a different NIC.
