Endless loop after shutting down with Windos volume still mounted

[dryder]

Hi,
Thanks for your perseverance.

All the case matching is correct - I copied and pasted the command and names - they match Windows share names exactly.

Is there a way of renewing a possibly corrupted DFS database or would I Perhaps be better trying a samba re-install? Could my smb.conf file be at fault? (attached .txt extension added just for upload)

First I would try to create a new user account on the Linux machine and see if you can access the share the usual graphical way that way.

Hi,

Yes - under a new User Account everything is fine - I can mount "DATABASE (F)". (I have not tried mounting in /mnt as nothing would).

In case it helps, I tried dragging the rogue volume on the Desktop to terminal.

terminal reported:

x-nautilus-desktop:///database%20(f)%20on%20study-raid.volume

Does help in trying to track it down or remove it?

There was a link to the network folder in Home - how I do not know. Removing it solved the problem .... thanks for all your help ... and I understand more too.
