I had a drive with an ext3 filesystem in an old p2 running RH8 storing
my mp3 files.  I moved the drive into a USB enclosure attached to
a laptop running FC4.  The laptop mounted the fs on /media/media
pretty much automatically.  The problem is I can't export the
/media/media FS with samba to mount on a windows host.  I can
export /media, and the xp box can see /media/cdrecorder, but
/media/media is invisible.  I have the following in various config
files:<br>
from mount:<br>
automount(pid2427) on /net type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=2427,minproto=2,maxproto=4)<br>
/dev/sda1 on /media/media type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev,user=jim)<br>
<br>
in /etc/fstab:<br>
/dev/sda1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
/media/media&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
ext3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0&nbsp; <br>
/dev/hdc&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
/media/cdrecorder&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
auto&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0<br>
<br>
ls:<br>
[root@linuxlaptop /]# ls -al /media<br>
total 32<br>
drwxr-xr-x&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4 root root 4096 Mar&nbsp; 5 21:32 .<br>

<br>
in smb.conf: ( I did have /media/media)<br>
[media]<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; path = /media<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; writeable = yes<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; browseable = yes<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; valid users = jim<br>
<br>
in /var/logs/samba/ (when path above was /media/media)<br>
<br>
[2006/02/28 21:03:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(615)<br>
&nbsp; '/media/media' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [media]<br>
<br>
Since I have a copy of the files on my xp box now, I was thinking of
destroying the fs and recreating it, then putting all the data
back.&nbsp; I just find it very strange that with the above smb.conf, I
can mount /media as media on my xp box and I can see the cdrecorder
directory but I can't see the media directory.<br>
<br>
Any advice on what might be wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
