Complete linux noob here. Instructions were clear and easy to follow and I successfully mounted two Synology smb shares on boot. Thank you SpaceRex

Thank you so much for this. It was really helpfull. I could not get this to work until i set my Pi to wait for network before booting. if anyone is watching make sure you have this enabled otherwise your mounts will try to mount before the pi gets a connection to the network.

thanks! this channel helped me to master my Synology NAS. All videos are super-clear, to the point tutorials. I think I watched about 20 of them already :) My challenge was to make the following workflow to work: - VM on Synology (Linux Mint in my case) + VPN connection to 3rd party provider (VPNUnlimited) from VM + Transmission Torrent on VM working under VPN + torrent files should be stored on NAS (I tried NFS, but that didn't work well for transmission user, so I'm going to switch to SMB now).

THANK YOU! I’ve been up late nights for a week now trying to figure this out and your video solved it! Now I just have one issue, the network share from my NAS is successfully mounted but, my Plex container in portainer cannot see it. Would you have any advice or maybe another video you could point me to?

@tmbiggs5343 Год назад

FYI if you get "error 95" you need to add "vers=2.0" to the fstab. For me it was "credentials=/root/.smbMYDIRECTORY,vers=2.0, uid1000"..... etc. That will make the fstab work if you need vers=2.0. Hope that helps people.

@ystebadvonschlegel3295 4 года назад

Thanks so much -- I've been reading all day and kept getting errors when trying to connect a SMB share to ubuntu, but followed this and it worked perfectly! You are such a great teacher - love your videos!! Edit: so I thought I had it perfect - I mount the directories each time I boot and can find the files on my NAS from the command line, but when I add the directories from Plex (which seems to work fine) Plex says there "there are no items in the library" - apparently Plex can't see the files that are in the mounted folder. ARGH!!!!!

Ah. Looks like the Plex user does not have access to the folder

So I successfully did this on Linux Mint connecting to my Synology. But at 5:30 I had to put my password in single quotes like ‘password’ but I didn’t have to do that in the .smbServer file that you made. FYI for those watching.

@CasparvanderLinden Год назад

Just found out, after several reboots, I did do needed to enable the SMB application for the user in the NAS. I've been staring at my fstab for quite a while. ;) Note: I did also use smb3 instead of cifs (on a PI). Not exactly sure what can be gained with that. Oh and also do NOT have the Synology make up a password for you, as the non-alphanumeric characters f^>* up your authentication (unless you know how to escape those).

So I was saying that by the time the fstab is executed during boot up the network has not initialized. There are ways to “wait for network” for the fstab file. Or you could also throw something in the crontab to run 20 seconds after boot
