NFS mount to Synology share

[alan]

Hi,
I am a new user of linux mint (from windows 10). I have been using mint for just a few days. I am trying to mount a shared drive on my synology nas but it fails with "access denied by server". This is the command I am using: sudo mount 192.168.0.100:/volume1/shared /data

I would be grateful for any help to solve this.

Thank, Alan

what's the share configuration (you can find it in /etc/exports) on the NFS server side?

[alan]

Share configuration? I am a complete newbie to mint. From your question, it looks like i have missed something important.

Note that it can also be a simple matter of needing sudo apt-get install nfs-client on the Mint system; with the correct RPC daemons not running, NFS tends to give nonuseful error messages.

I tried to install nfs-client - got this as a result

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'nfs-common' instead of 'nfs-client'
nfs-common is already the newest version (1:1.3.4-2.5ubuntu3.4).
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade

Thanks for the replies so far. Can anyone suggest anywhere I can do more reading/learn more about NFS shares to help me resolve this?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Alan

PM me with an email addy and I'll send you a pdf 'how-to' that I wrote for someone else.

Add the following to the fstab located in /etc
//<I.P Address of NAS>/<SHARE FOLDER/ /mnt/<SHARE FOLDER>/ cifs username=User,password=password,_netdev,iocharset=utf8 0 0

eg of it
//192.168.1.3/DS418j/ /mnt/DS418j/ cifs username=User,password=password,_netdev,iocharset=utf8 0 0

I have reserved the IP address 192.168.1.3 to my NAS so if their is a power failure or the Router is disconnected when power is restored the NAS uses the same IP address so scripts have to be changed

My NAS is a Synology DS418j, when I created it I made share folder with that name

I mount in /mnt and I make a folder in /mnt with DS418j, mainly so I know what that folder is for.

//<I.P Address of NAS>/<SHARE FOLDER/ /mnt/<SHARE FOLDER>/ cifs username=<passwordhere>,_netdev,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Once you've added the line into the fstab and added the correct details(IP address, Share folder, Mount Point, Username and Password), typing in sudo mount -a in the terminal will mount the NAS and it should be accessible.
On boot, it will mount unless it is a laptop as fstab mounting happens before WiFi connections.

Code: Select all

showmount -e [IP from NAS]

Add the following to the fstab located in /etc
//<I.P Address of NAS>/<SHARE FOLDER/ /mnt/<SHARE FOLDER>/ cifs username=User,password=password,_netdev,iocharset=utf8 0 0

The OP is asking about an NFS mount, not CIFS.

Alan: It should be

sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.0.100:/volume1/shared /data /mnt/synology
