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.
And what, pray tell, was wrong with the already existing /mnt?
Wrong? Nothing, except that is where Bob originally intended to place the cifs mount. As, I believe, he has done with his nfs mounts.
That was an incorrectly worded statement.
What I meant was, Bob has demonstrated that he keeps all of his various mounts under /media. From a previous thread.
[root@WS1 bobg]# ls -al /media total 28 drwxr-xr-x. 7 root root 4096 Jun 29 13:04 . dr-xr-xr-x. 18 root root 4096 Apr 22 18:35 .. drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 3 15:26 mybk drwxrwxrwx. 29 bobg bobg 4096 Jul 2 13:33 nfs drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 Jun 29 13:04 smb drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Jun 22 09:21 test drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 May 25 10:32 wd4t
So, I'm trying to honor his structure. And, since I can achieve it, I don't know why his system seems to fail in that regard. Hence, the long thread.
