But anyway, that wasn't the command he said to try. He asked you to try the full mount command with all the options, not the short one used when the mount description is in fstab. > I get the feeling he may have an entry in fstab which spanned/spans 2 lines? Yes, I asked him to comment out the line and then just try the full command from the command line to eliminate an issue with /media/smb. In a previous message he showed the full contents of /media so it doesn't appear that the directory is missing. Would be "nice" if he would attach the actual fstab so it won't be wrapped/formatted by an email client. FWIW, he never confirmed that he actually did comment out the fstab entry. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
