Situation
Cifs shares are not available after restarting ndsd service for any
reason.
Resolution
Workaround:
You need to restart cifs service "rcnovell-cifs restart" if ndsd is restarted.
Future:
Changes have been made to both CIFS and NCP service in OES11SP2 to address this.

Cause
When ndsd is restarted, cifsd does not auto reconnect to the Unix
Domain Socket /tmp/.ncpserv and inform ndsd about the availability
of /tmp/.ncp2cifs again, nor will ndsd check for the availability
of /tmp/.ncp2cifs and connect to this Unix Domain Socket again
during startup. Hence, after ndsd has restarted, cifsd will not get
informed about 'mount volume' and 'dismount volume' events anymore.
