On the subject of research, I looked into the purpose of /media. I don't know when that was introduced in Fedora. I knew it was there, but I've ignored it. Anyway, in reading about it, its purpose is to be a place where removable media would be mounted. That bit of information then explains the actions of Thunar. Directory entries under /media are treated as potential mount points. Once a mount is performed the entry will appear in the Left Panel of Thunar in the Devices area. If you unmount, the entry would remain but be dimmed under certain circumstances. Strangely, to me, different types of mounts are treated differently. All that said, and with my local testing, there should be no reason to change the server's hostname. So, leave it as smb. I would like you to make one more test on the client side. I would like you to revert to what a standard fstab entry should be. (Check my work. :-) ) //192.168.50.149/bobg /media/smb cifs uid=bobg,gid=bobg,cred=/home/bobg/cred 0 0 And then reboot the client. When you login to the client as bobg and start Thunar verify that "smb" appears in the Devices section of the left panel. And, hopefully, you can click on that and display the files. -- 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
