Did you comment it out wrong? 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.
