I get the following error when I try and create a symlink
"This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/robert/.gvfs/smb://192.168.1.69/tvshowsv" doesn't exist"
I am auto mounting that share at startup using
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
gvfs-mount smb://Server/share_name
If you have an application that requires a known path and it can access a hidden directory then there is no problem. If however your application cannot access a hidden directory or if you prefer to have it mount somewhere other than the default location then one way to accomplish that is to use a symbolic link to a non-hidden directory. For example:
Code: Select all
CODE: SELECT ALL
sudo mkdir /media/Music
sudo ln -s /home/altiar/.gvfs/"music on seagate" /media/Music
in place of "music on segate" I put smb://192.168.1.69/tvshowsv and I of course made my own directory diff to named above
Advise please
Thanks Zeb...
