My Windows Network Drives (samba/cifs) ara available in the KDE Dolphin file managers, but I can’t find their mount points. The output of the mount command doesn’t give me any hints:
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mode=1777)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
How do I access Windows Network Drives from terminal, e.g. Konsole, xterm etc ?
will give you a list of all commands connected to Samba.
On my system the man pages for the different utilities mentioned there do not seem to be available. BUt I think that searching for them on the Internet might gives results.
I’m finding that at least with OpenSuSE 11.3, removable drives are often mounted in the /media/ directory, not the /mnt/ directory. I assume since you can see the shares in Dolphin your problem isn’t setting up SAMBA, just determining the proper path.

I think that KDE can mount samba/cifs shares on its own (via “smb://”), and
they don’t show in the output of “mount” because they are not really
mounted. To have them available to all, really mounted, they have to be
mounted via samba. /etc/samba/smbfstab et al.
