pwd cannot determine current directory

2007-12-25 11:20:00

        Thanks to all who responded to my question.

        The problem was due to having the wrong permissions on the mount

point directory.

        

        The steps to do, as the superuser

         

        - Unmounting the filesystem

        - Set the aproppiate permissions (755) to the mount point directory,

        - Mount the filesystem

        

        Thanks again
