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.
And Joe Zeff asks "And what, pray tell, was wrong with the already
existing /mnt?" Nothing that I am aware of, it may have been with FC31
an instruction I read suggested /media and I did it that way for NFS,
that worked as well as /mnt so I thought I would keep everything
consistent and do the same with S>B, no other reason for it.
Ed, as for the changes you suggest I believe that describes what I have
now for the last several days after setting things per you directions?
The active line in /etc/fstab is:
//192.168.50.149/bobg /mnt/smb cifs
uid=bobg,gid=bobg,credentials=/home/bobg/cred 0 0
and: [root@WS1 bobg]# cat /home/bobg/cred
user=bobg
password=mypassword
when I start cold in the morning both servers mount per fstab. Both smb
and nfs are items in the Thunar left panel. Clicking Nfs in the left
panel shows a list of files in the right panel, smb does not! Neither
SMB nor NFS shows in the right panel under Network Browse now as I think
it should and did in the past? Samba in FC32 looks like an unmanageable
mess to me, but I am prejudiced ...
I also wonder if my ASUSRT-ACRH13 router is contributing to the problem,
it also has not worked with the USB connection to an external storage
device, also smb? Like Thunar it sees the USB device but never connects
to it. I've began this response t 06:00 EDT.
