When it comes to Linux, I am below that of a newbie. Any version of Linux that is command line driven terrifies me. I have had to much exposure to Windows to get used to a command line interface. Also, I am lazy, which means I do not wish to type out everything I wish to do. To that end, when I run across a problem in Linux, I better write it down, as I know I will never remember it. For one of my many jobs, I have to use a Linux server. Most times things run fine, but at times the server drops a mounted directory, causing me not to have access to vital files. Below is how you remount the directory.
First, on the Linux machine you are using, log in as a superuser. To do so, type the following:
su (it will ask for a password, put it in)
Now, type the following:
mount /directory path you wish to mount
Now, the path should be mounted. If this fails, do a ping of the computer’s host name or IP Address to make sure it is present. If not, the system may be down, which may explain the problem. As to how to mount a directory from scratch, on that I am not sure, as I have yet to do so myself. Once I find out, I will let you know.
