Linux Newbie trying to mount Windows share to Amazon Linux server. Cannot see files in mount
by sysadlight from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4XNNF)
Newbie here:
Running on Amazon Linux (whatever distort that might be)
After hours of trying to figure out how to mount a simple Windows 2012 R2 share, I found what I think is the right command:
sudo mount -t cifs //172.19.3.64/BlobLogs /mnt/blob --verbose -o credentials=/home/ec2-user/creds.txt,vers=1.0
This allows me to mount the share, I can see it using df -h, and see the available space etc.
I cannot however see any files in the share. When I mount it to my Mac, I can see all the data within the Windows share fine.
I have not yet added anything to fstab, as I don't care if I have to re-issue the command after reboot.
Can anyone please tell me what I am missing? The mount connects fine, just cannot see any data within it.
