[SOLVED} mystery mount point?

[allroy1975]

I've been running Unraid since I think about 2009 picking up and losing knowledge as needed.  Mostly hacking and slashing my way through it, so I've got some old junk here and there, and now that I'm on 6.3.1 and stuff is amazing, I figured I'd go ahead and do some cleanup. 

 

Removing old shares was easy enough...until i got to my old YAMJ share...I don't run anything that needs YAMJ anymore (plex FTW!) and so I'm deleting everything in there...when I notice there's a /yamj/usr direcotry....

and stuff has been modified in it TODAY.  I haven't used yamj in a couple years... so i start digging and it looks like \\tower\yamj\usr\local\emhttp contains folders like "boot" and "mnt" and other folders ....these appear to be live files..since when I renamed a test file in \\tower\yamj\usr\local\emhttp\boot\ then checked \boot the file had changed. 

 

I've run mount and df but neither shows where this could be mounting from? 

 

Ideas?  thanks in advance!

From the unRAID command line, post the result of

ls -lah /mnt/user/yamj/usr

Thanks!!!  I mean...I haven't googled this command yet, to see what I just asked of that directories permissions, but...I feel like you're trying to help.

Ok, so you shouldn't (hopefully) have to hold my hand through all of this..I think I found what I'm looking for

I believe those are mount points?  or am I using the wrong terminology?  Sorry...mostly a windows guy....that's why I explained my hacking my way through flavors of unraid and ending up with a mess like this without understanding or knowing how I did it. 

 

so...how do I safely unmountpoint them?  or whatever?

[allroy1975]

my google-fu is telling me these are symbolic links and I might be able to just delete the link using a rm command

but typing "rm mnt" scares the dickens out of me.  though...if it's just a  link, it should delete that link, if it's a folder it should complain that mnt is a folder and I need to use rmdir right?  but I user rm -rf all the time to remove folders.....not sure..

 

Edit: yep, i just suck at linux too much.  Once I did the ls -lah I could see the symlinks were different than regular folders since they had an @ at the back of them.  That gave me more stuff to google.  Long story short, that's what they were.  Symlinks and I was able to delete just the link with a simple rm command.

 

Thanks trurl for pushing me in the right direction.  ugh...I couldn't figure it out because I suck at the linux equivalent of "dir".  I'm ashamed, but grateful!
