I upgraded my system from fc3 to fc5 recently. It's been working fine,
but suddenly, while ripping to the library, the library disappeared. 

I could still access it from root but not either as a user or remotely
(it's shared with Samba).

I checked permissions but nothing seemed odd, so I simply rewrote them
with their previous values. I then rebooted the machine just in case. 


When it cam back I could now see the library from root, from my own
account (relen), and remotely on my iBook (but not from my friend's win
laptop, which we could before - she has her own account). 

More importantly, slimserver can't see it. The library is on its own
disc, called "audio" and mounted at /media. The actual audio is in a
directory called "audio" on the drive (historical reasons). Thus the
path to the library has traditionally been "/media/audio/audio".
Slimserver no longer accepts anything beyond "/media". It says, for
example):

New value for Music Folder rejected:
Oops - "/media/audio" doesn't seem to be a valid directory. Try again.

As root, I tried
# chown relen /media/audio
# chgrp relen /media/audio
# chmod 755 /media/audio

with no effect. (You'll appreciate I am trying to access one level of
the tree at a time).

I even tried making Slimserver the owner of the library, to no effect.

I cannot imagine that this can be anything but a permissions issue, but
I can't see it.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks!
