#Synology remote drive mapping windows#
Does it mean that if I make a NFS connection on my Linux computer and on a windows computer (SMB) I copy some files into a subfoler on the NAS I can't see them in my Linux share? That kind of issues? NFS: why weren't you happy with the end result? And what do you mean by preserving the linux file attributes of files copied to it. The reason I did so that in another topic the response was that it is stupid to do it in your home folder. owning the /media/NAS: I don't think so as I needed to use sudo to make the folder. I do have an 'idiots guide' to connecting using NFS. You can connect with NFS, I've done it (I'm a newbie when it comes to NFS), got it working and reverted to CIFS because I wasn't happy with the end result and didn't need the synology to preserve the linux file attributes of files copied to it. In my case both are the same, andy, yours may be different. the Linux Mint username logged-on No, it is the username of the user on the NAS, not the local mint user. In a terminal you need to sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/NAS to change ownership of the mount point to you.

Second, do you own /media/NAS? You have created a folder outside /home and /media/you so it will be owned by root. Note, there is nothing particularly sensitive about the IP address of your synology on your local LAN, it is only accessible on the internal LAN mine is 192.168.0.5. You don't need /volume1/, it is more likely to be just /books and it is better to use the hostname instead of the IP address (it will still work if your IP address changes if dynamically allocated). volume1/books is wrong, I mount the home folder for user andy (on the synology) with //diskstation.local/home/ and I mount my music folder with //diskstation.local/music/ where my shared folders on the synology look like: /volume1/books /media/NAS cifs credentials=/home//naslogin.txt,uid=1000,gid=1000,nofail 0 0 Replacing uid=1000,gid=1000 didn't help either. But when I click on it I get the message: "mount: /media/NAS: operation permitted for root only." Naslogin.txt has been created on forehand, as is /media/NAS directory. = IP-address of the Synology NAS, the Linux Mint username logged-on. you have to make the /media/synology directory on forehand? you have to make the credentials file on forehand?ģ. It doesn't have to be but the Linux desktop developers need to have a Samba subject matter expert and they don't have one.Īnd for the record I can set up a cifs automount in under 30 secondsĢ. Yes compared to Windows this process is more complicated. Problems specific to Synology are best handled by someone who has one. I have a CIFS HowTo in the Tutorials section here but it's more generic. Nofail means mint won't spend 90seconds trying to connect on boot before giving up if the nas is not present.
