Re: Mounting issues

in other words: it would appear that the files never dissapeared, and that an unmount reverted the visibility of the folder to what was there before. Quite a relief! Thanks again :)

You are all right, I had to reboot my system due to a crash, but after that I could see everything again. Thanks!

The usual behaviour of a mountpoint is that the previous contents if
any become invisible during the mount, and become visible again when
you unmount. I'm not sure about SMB though. Did you try umount yet?
