mount_smbfs does not show all directories

Hello,

I have the problem with mounting the NAS share on my freebsd 11.1 machine (the NAS is Netgear Readynas).
Code: 
mount_smbfs //root@NAS/Movies/ /mnt

The mount_smbfs does not show all directories in /mnt, also ls command does not show all directories in /mnt.

Where can be the problem?

That's likely a permission issue on the NAS.

All directiories on NAS have the same permisions.
From window machine I can see all the directiories, also the linux machine can mount it without the problem (NFS, CIFS).
 
Do I assume right that you mount the share while being root, and that you also try to access the share afterwards while being root?

In addition to that: are you sure the filesystem got actually mounted instead of quitting with an error? If so: how did you check?

Just trying to get some common possibilities out of the way here.

The guest account = the same problem: some directories not visible.

I found one issue - with cd command I am able to find all missing directories (using root or guest account for mounting).
 
You didn't really answer my question and I also don't fully understand what you're saying here.

So when you're logged in as root you do see those directories under /mnt but not while using other accounts? In that case the solution is simple: specify the right user/group -name (and the optional permission mask) which smbfs should use for /mnt. See mount_smbfs(8); look into the -f, -d, -u and -g parameters.

The guest & root account = the same problem: some directories not visible.
But if I use the cd command I am able to find all missing directories (using root or guest account for mounting).
 
Do these directories perhaps start with a dot? Like .somedir? Do they show up if you use ls -al? Perhaps some odd locale settings/filenames?

No directories start with a dot. Just simple names.
No locale filenames.
The cd command path shows "missing" directories names with no problem.

I changed one of missing directory name to just "x" and still the same - it is not appearing.

Why don't you use NFS on FreeBSD too? Do the directories show up then?
