Where can I find the mount point for SMB shares in 13.04?

In 13.04, gvfs user-mounts are moved to the /run filesystem

/run/user/<username>/gvfs

see Why do my gvfs mounts not show up under ~/.gvfs or /run/user/<login>/gvfs?

[not flagged as duplicate because the answers there are unclear]

If you want to keep the old links / scripts etc., just do

rmdir ~/.gvfs/
ln -s /run/user/<username>/gvfs ~/.gvfs

Update: gvfs has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead. Now smb mounts are located on $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs.


You can also mount it manually using mount in for instance /mnt Like

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=foobar,password=foobar,rw,hard,nosetuids,noperm,sec=ntlm //192.168.1.2/Drive ~/mnt/mount_point

(from How can I mount cifs shares in (k)ubuntu 13.04?)


In 15.04, 15.10 and at this moment 16.04 (not released yet) there is a confirmed bug in the gvfs package which prevents the

/run/user/<*userId>*/gvfs  

to work like expected. A workaround at this moment is to first kill both gvfs deamons before trying to mount.

To do so just execute the command:

killall gvfsd

and any links you make after that will be accessible via the gvfs dir again.
