That in itself is disturbing - overlaying mounted filesystems unintentionally will not end well. Double check your fstab file to make sure you are mounting everything properly where you expect it to be, i.e., under /media/julian/[HERA,GANDALF,CYNTHIA] from now on. *EDIT* Remembered you had previously posted your fstab, and I've checked it: it's wrong, not sure why I didn't spot this before. You have: 192.168.0.3:/volume1/Hera /media/HERA nfs users,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 You can see what's wrong with that right? :] You're mounting the NAS as /media/HERA, and not /media/julian/HERA/ - no wonder your graphical disk analysis pics looked so weird. Fix that first, and remount your volumes properly - I can't believe that hasn't already caused you *serious* problems. So, I created a CDROM directory in /media/julian and > issued the following, modifying yours: > > Cerce julian # ls -alh /media/julian/CDROM > total 8.0K > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Dec 9 22:53 . > drwxr-x---+ 6 root root 4.0K Dec 9 22:53 .. > Cerce julian # Yeah, it's definitely not seeing anything and mount agrees. Normally Mint/Ubuntu would by default automount to /media/$USER/$VOLUMENAME, so personally I'm not at all convinced permanently mounted volumes should also live there for sanity reasons. Personally, I've always used the boring old /mnt directory to peg my permanently mounted extra volumes to, avoiding weird permission issues and possible namespace collisions. I think you could do worse than creating the equivalent /mnt/$VOLUME directories to the ones in /media/julian/$VOLUME and editing fstab to update the changes. This will keep your automounting directory free. > Incidentally, I think I mentioned before, sr0, cdrom, etc do not exist > in /dev until/unless the optical drive mounts and I don't know why that > is, and may well be the root cause of the problem. That has to be the root of the issue, I'll dig a little. Cheers -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
