Since I don’t know your level of expertise, I’ll go step by step. Forgive me if you already know how to do some of this.

In terminal, type “sudo nano /etc/fstab” (without quotes). This brings up a file where you can add the mount point so it mounts at boot and set options for the mount. Go to the end of the file and enter a line like the following, substituting your info in the appropriate places:

//[static ip for nas]/[top level folder on nas you want to mount] /[mount point in Linux] [file system type for mount] [mount options, nas login credentials, permissions] 0 0

Mine looks like this: //192.168.1.0/Media /mnt/Media cifs _netdev,user=anonymouse,password=*****,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

The “_netdev” option is the one that delays the mount until after your network is up. The “file_mode” & “dir_mode” set the mount permissions. There is info out there showing how to insert a reference to a credentials file instead of placing them in fstab in plain text, but I didn’t bother since I have my computer and user profile pretty well locked down.

To get _netdev to work, I had to enter the following in terminal (without quotes): “sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online”.

I couldn’t find all the sites I visited while setting this up, but here are a few:

unix.stackexchange.com/…/how-do-i-mount-a-cifs-sh…

unix.stackexchange.com/…/fstab-not-automatically-…

help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab#Options

Hope this helps!

anonymouse,

I’ll look up the exact info when I get home and provide links if I can find them again.

The summary is that I had to add a line to /etc/fstab with the ip and folder route of the nas drive and folder, then the mount point in linux, the file system type for the mount, options that give login creds/group id + establish permissions I want to apply to the mount, and an option that keeps the drive from trying to mount until my network is connected.

Finally, for that last option to work, I had to enable a process that I forget the name of. I think it was in systemd, but I was able to initiate it from the command line.

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

anonymouse,

Paying monthly for Apple, Netflix & YouTube TV. Paid for a year of Prime just before they announced they were adding ads. Got a year of Peacock with ads last year for $20. Also have a yearly subscription to Tennis Channel Plus.

I usually rotate a few of the monthly subs every 3 to 6 months to catch up on some shows and movies I’ve missed, but I’m getting closer and closer to cancelling them all. Too expensive and too much time on the couch.

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

anonymouse,

Surprised I didn’t see it here, but this is the big one. I was raised in a very religious household and, while I no longer subscribe to that or any other religion as the absolute truth, I still don’t believe in evolution. I don’t think capital-G God made Adam and Eve, but I believe in the possibility that a powerful extra dimensional being organized things and set them in motion so that life as we know it exists.

anonymouse,

I should go back to doing this instead of eating Cheetos. Sleeve of crackers and a serving spoon of peanut butter. So good.

anonymouse,

My favorite podcast told me it would heal my mental illness.

anonymouse,

I’d watch me some Tornado Alley Trailer Park Wives.

anonymouse,

That plumbing should not have passed inspection.

anonymouse,

That has more to do with farming practices though, not plastic pollution.

anonymouse,

If those tasks are so important, then how come they don’t trigger the happy brain juice?

anonymouse,

flips table YOU POINTED OUT THE MISTAKE??!!!
