[OPEN] folder mounting at boot time

[root23]

Hello forum,
I have already read many posts here about my problem but do not come to the solution.

I want to mount a folder on my Synology NAS at boot time.

I have in /home/NAME a file .smbcredentials with the content:
username=xxxx
password=xxxx
domain=ip of my NAS

in the /etc/fstab I have entered the following

Code: Select all

//200.200.20.20/Backup /mnt/Backup cifs uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,user,credentials=/home/NAME/.smbcredentials 00

When booting I get the following error messages

Code: Select all

[FAILED] Failed to mount /mnt/Backup
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Remote File System

Any help for me?

Thanks!

Dependency failed sounds like a package that is missing.

I read about nfs

we have that too - gvfs-nfs...nfs-utils...

did you look here

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NFS

I am just looking up because I have no experience with this.

One day I will buy me one... I have been saying that the last 5 year.

"That's the part that wasn't working for me. I could mount from the command line but not from /etc/fstab.

I just spent another half an hour piddling and finally got it to work. I think my mistake was including the volume in the server spec (e.g. <ip-address>/volume2/homes/<user> instead of <ip-address>/homes/<user>). Apparently I was doing it correctly on the command line but not in /etc/fstab. And now I've read mount.cifs so I have the Samba version locked to 3.0, I'm using a credentials file, and I the mount set to read-write. Still can't change file modes but apparently that's baked into the protocol.

So thanks for poking at me, all it took was one more push to figure out my mistake.

As to the purpose of the post, it was mostly my reaction to not getting NFS to work no matter what I did (and reading ever so many online rants about the same thing). I suspect it is possible, though it seems to require synchronizing UIDs and GIDs with the NAS or squashing all permissions to admin, neither of which I wanted to do.

Now that I have Samba working I can let NFS go!"

In the meantime I read articles that if you have Samba that is enough.

Thanks for the quick help.
The problem was very strange
I had too many "," in my password and with the separator the system got confused
