I don't know how x-systemd.automount works, does it poll for network drives? If so, it doesn't detect the one in fstab systemd.automount doesn't poll anything. It works by mounting on demand. The reason it works that way is that by default the fstab instructions for that mount does not mount until ...

In this particular situation with samba I'm part of the unwashed masses I'm afraid. I could give you my interpretation of what it does or point you to the man pages but there is a sometimes member of this forum that would only correct me since I think he wrote most of the documentation for samba: Ro...

The exchange of files from PC to iPhone works but from iPhone to PC the file is copied with a size of 0 bytes and the message of file name too long or with invalid characters appears, in reality even when copying a doc.pdf file from the same error even if there are no special characters. If you add...

You will always get that error message when you create shares through your file manager and the permissions of the path do not allow access. Although it's written poorly it's not an error. It will still create the share. It's just telling you that "others" as in not your primary user and g...

Windows 10 I go to file explorer click network the I refresh.

So it's a discovery problem.

Install wsdd in Mint: Should that fail in explorer enter:

Does no one in this forum read any of the posts?

Read the first post please. All the way to the end ..........

What version of WIndows?

Did you restart smbd: EDIT: And what version of Windows?

Your share path is /home/josiah/dwhelper/living good

Your force user directive in smb.conf is force user = isaac

Because of Linux permissions no one but josiah can access that share. I think you meant to use:
force user = josiah

Please post the output of the following commands:

I can't follow up today but these are some observations: [1] You have no samba shares defined in smb.conf. Maybe you created them in nemo. Please post the output of this command: net usershare info --long [2] If you are using a firewall you need to allow samba through it on both machines: sudo ufw a...

Gigolo can do many things. NFS is not one of them.

When you say neither works do you mean that after a reboot if you open a terminal and run the following command there is no output:

I think the problem with nofail is how you interprit If the NAS is not connected . If the NAS is not available when the system boots nofail works just as you describe. It will not stop or stall booting if the NAS is not available. But at some point after boot and login the NAS does become available ...

I haven't used NFS this century but if you want it to mount automatically at boot why are you using the noauto option: 192.168.1.100:/volume1/homes /home/denbigh/NAShome nfs nouser,vers=3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,atime, noauto ,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 Perhaps in NFS noauto has a different meaning but for ...

I have two USB drives (one HDD, one SSD) mounted to the VM via /etc/fstab Depending on the desktop environment you use: If the mount point is under your home directory or under /media the mount icon will appear on your desktop. If it's anywhere else it will not unless you add to your fstab statemen...

I guess this proves I have no real life but I was reading through your original posts and found this: If I launch a player and try to play a music file, it gives a message error, something like "obsolete file". I wonder if the actual error message ( in english ) concerned " stale file...

At the same time a folder was automatically mounted (fritzbox on nas), Since I don't know what that means or how that can happen from a cifs mount it appears I can't help you. If I can't personally solve a samba issue in less than 5 or 6 posts I try to reproduce the situation on my systems but in t...

So why isn't the correct way to address this share this: //192.168.0.1/NASSOX /media/nas ... And if there is some sort of conflict with permissions remember cifs is a virtual filesystem you can make it anything you want. //192.168.0.1/NASSOX /media/nas cifs nounix,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0666,nofail...

Avm assistance keeps saying to try both //mystaticip//sharename and //fritz.box/sharename, where in this case sharename = /nas#/files/NASBOOK The advice AVM is giving you is textbook correct since it should be //server-name/share-name but what you state as the share is confusing since it appears th...
