Even better, next time try not stupidly mounting the filesystem twice. :) That might be a good feature request for mount.

Guess what? Ubuntu repaired itself. I did nothing. But suddenly /mnt appears properly with ls -la, and Thunar displays the filesystem again.

Everything still thinks there is something mounted at /mnt Don't really know how to solve this, but you can try umount -i /media/jjj/Synology umount -i /mnt See if thunar is ok, then try to mount again where you want it.

Make sure any stale entries have been cleared from /etc/fstab and then reboot.

After installing cifs-utils I ran the command, but I didn't realize that the last time I ran the mount command I was trying to mount it in /mnt - so that is where it mounted it. Realizing my error I ran the command again and mounted it in /media/jjj/Synology. So then I needed to umount it from /mnt, but the umount command didn't like that: jjj@Devil-Bonobo:/media/jjj$ umount //synology.local/synology/ umount: it seems //synology.local/synology/ is mounted multiple times I solved this problem with the -f (force) option. That umounted it from both places. Then I remounted it just in /media/jjj/Synology. I thought all was solved but now Thunar won't display the filesystem. The error message is Failed to open directory "Filesystem" Error when getting information for file '/mnt': No such device. I tried mkdir /mnt, but I got 'cannot create directory '/mnt': File exists.'
