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

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.
