IT Mamak

This morning end user complaint that she failed to access to her folder.
After checking I found that my machine didn’t mount to the file server.
Then I try to remount again but it give me “Could not resolve mount point” error message.

[root@ftp ~]#mount -t smbfs -o username=username%password //MyFileServer/SharedFolder /mnt/MountedFolder

Could not resolve mount point /mnt/MountedFolder

After googling I still failed to get a solution.

Then, I listed my /mnt and found that my MountedFolder got problem as below.

[root@ftp mnt]# ls -l /mnt
total 1
?——— 1 root root 4096 Jul 10 11:13 MountedFolder

There was a question mark for the folder mod.
Solution:
reboot the machine then list again the folder

[root@ftp mnt]#ls -l /mnt
total 1
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096 Jul 10 11:13 MountedFolder

Now it was back to normal.
Remount again the folder and can access to the mounted folder now.

It could me many reason you get a “Could not resolve mount point”.
You may googling the solution and mine is one of the solution.
If you had try others solution and can’t work and your mount folder have a “question mark” aslo.
You should try it.

Have a nice day.
