Mount Drive not showing files

[jgallen23]

I'm using ubuntu 9.10 and I'm trying to mount a shared drive from my airport extreme. I am able to mount the drive via:
sudo mount -t cifs //extreme.local/videos /media/videos

once I change into that drive though and run ls, nothing shows up. The weird thing, though, is that I can change directories. So I can type cd TV and it'll go into that directory, but when I run ls in that directory nothing shows up.

Also, if I mount the drive in nautilus, everything shows up fine, but I need terminal access to the drive.

Any ideas?

just a shot in the dark but try dir instead of ls

[jgallen23]

Nope. That didn't work either

[eremyja]

could it be permission problems? try using sudo dir... its pretty weird that it shows it in nautilus but not the terminal...

[eremyja]

oh wait just reread your original post... if you mount the drive with nautilus can you see the files in the terminal?

[jgallen23]

if I mount the drive in nautilus I can see the files in ~/.gvfs, but I'm not always able to use nautilus to mount the drive (normally I just ssh into the box). What could nautilus be doing differently?

[jgallen23]

bump. Any ideas on this?

I have the exact same problem when mounting a Hard Drive that is being shared via my Time Capsule. Could it have something to do with the fact that the shared drive is formatted using HFS+ ?

Ahh.. a little more browsing and I came across this page:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ba/+bug/406466

The last post on the page gave me the solution...

The trick is the " nounix,noserverino, " in the next section.

My fstab looks like this now (and I can see all folders and files now)

//Time-Capsule/MyBook/Backups /media/TC_MyBook cifs user,rw,iocharset=utf8,nounix,noserverino,uid=1000 ,gid=1000,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,credentials =/home/joebloggs/smb.pass 0 0

Hope this helps
