i think i made a bad mistake.

i was trying to make a link from my /var/www/html folder named mp3 so that 
/var/www/html/mp3 would point to /var/ftp/pub/mp3 which is a mount point for 
my 30 gig drive.

i did ln -s /var/ftp/pub/mp3 mp3
which, i beleive, overwrote the mountpoint with a bad symlink.

i can't cd to /var/ftp/pub/mp3, i just get an error: Too many levels of 
symbolic links

i would like access to my drive again.  any thoughts?

can i just rm the link and mkdir the new folder again?  how do i get the new 
folder to point to all that it contained before ( > 20 GB of mp3s )

funny thing.  i have smb running and i can get to \\mybox\ftp which is the 
share folder /var/ftp/pub/. from my windoz box i can cd to mp3 and see the 
files, which seems promising.

i think the first thing i'll do is back up through the windows box while i 
have access to the files.  since i don't have a backup now.

thanks,
rob
