[Samba] can't write superblock

[Tom Skeren]

Let's see, you first do this on server2

1. mkdir /Shared
2. mount_smbfs //server1/Shared /Shared
3. On server2 you rm -R /Shared.

If so this is a bad thing.  You have two choices here.  ssh to server 1 
and do that function on server1.  Or cd /Shared and rm the stuff in 
there.  You can't delete the mount point and then recreate the mount 
point, then remount the shared drive.
