Question

I have a folder on my windows machine which is mounted to my linux machine using cifs. Today when accessing that folder I was denied access. When I checked file permissions I found out that it was showing very strange permissions, username, size and lastmodified date. Screenshot below:

enter image description here

When I checked the mounted folders using df -h I saw that this folder is not listed. What might be case of such a behaviour?

Was it helpful?

Solution

My be windows machine was rebooted or hibernated and mount.cifs fails to re-read or re-mount it properly. If you still the same problem - try to remount it and check logs in your windows machine and make sure you set correct power options in windows PC.
