You've not changed anything and yesterday it was working under /mnt/smb and today after powering
up it is failing?

That seems to be a true statement, but may only be not working for either file manager?
Well did you check with the command line?
I just restarted this computer and doing 'mount' seems to show the smb mounted without my doing anything.
Earlier, did you power on the client and the server at the same time?
.
No, the smb server runs continuously and is on a UPS.
If that is what you did, it is possible that the server wasn't yet fully up and running when the client tried
to mount the share.
If now, you only restarted the client the server is fully ready.
.
Yes it is ready: Press pwr on button, user name, password, startx and ll /mnt/smb in the terminal:
[bobg@WS1 ~]$ ll /mnt/smb

However Thunar or Nautilus can not display this when I click on smb.
Clicking on nfs, or an external My Book when it is mounted, display
their contents as expected. I have not checked the Fedora 31 computer
but it did display the samba files yesterday while this FC32 did not.
I have done no manual mounts since booting today.
I am beginning to think the only way to fix this computer will be to
clear its system drive and do a new install
When you check things you need to check both the command line and the file manager.
I think I always do that.
FWIW, in my earlier email, since you indicated /mnt/smb was now working I was asking you to change it back
to /media/smb. I think you didn't notice that change request. BUT, no need to do it now until you can get
it working consistently.
It works with either, changing it adds uncertainty of a typo, whatever.
I am willing to change it though ...
I hate to say this, but in your situation and the need to satisfy your Apple using family members it may be
worth the extra few $ to invest in a NAS that supports NFS, SMB, and AFP. It may help you avoid headaches
and keep everyone happier. :-) :-)
Yes I aware of that. I bought the MyCloud thinking it is essentially an
NAS. The way the iOS stuff works all she has in her camera/iPhone when
ready to save them are thumbnail images, saving to the MyCloud involved
each image file being down loaded from the iCloud server which quickly
burnt up half a terabyte of my Viasat 60GB allowance after which I am
throttled back noticeably during prime time hours. Maybe the iOS stuff
could be configured differently but I already have enough problems
without poking around in that.
