Need help automounting NAS storage?

Support Network
1

Installed Truenas on my old computer. Enabled Unix (nfs) shares for linux and Windows (smb) shares for Windows 10.
If I run the following command,
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.250:/mnt/network_1/NetworkData/secretdata network
I CAN access the storage on the NAS.

I cannot however get NAS storage to automount.
I have tried to edit fstab with
//192.168.0.250:/mnt/network_1/NetworkData/secretdata /home/aurora/network cifs username=NASusername,password=NASpassword,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

but sudo mount -a gives the following error,
mount error: could not resolve address for 192.168.0.250:: Unknown error
and mount -a gives mount.cifs: permission denied

I have also tried
//192.168.0.250:/mnt/network_1/NetworkData/secretdata /home/aurora/network nfs username=user1,password=match,users 0 0

and both mount -a and sudo mount -a gives error, mount.nfs: Failed to resolve server //192.168.0.250: Name or service not known

I access my nas smb://192.168.0.250 then it’s not mounted but rather popup under network in Dolphin. That’s how I access my nas. Works for me, not sure if right or wrong.

3

That is because smb mounts uses windows unc

Using fstab with your current define - you will get problems - because the mount takes place before network is up.

I can access my NAS. I just can’t get it to mount during boot.

When I run sudo systemctl enable --now home-aurora-network.automount
the directory /home/aurora/network becomes invisible in dolphin

cd network gives this error

cd: no such device: network

Becoming super user su and running ls gives this error

ls: cannot access 'network': No such device

I connected to the NAS with browser and was able to access it.

After hitting F5 on dolphin a couple of times, the directory network/ is visible again. I can access it but there are no files on it.

I checked journalctl and didn’t find any errors.

Edit 1:

The fstab entry that @AJA provided in this post also has the same result as the automount and mount entries in the original post

192.168.1.98:/mnt/RAID/Torrent /home/john/NAS/Torrent/ nfs _netdev,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=10,timeo=14,x-systemd.idle-timeout=1min 0 0

I looked at another post somewhat related to NAS on manjaro, and the person in the post said to check mapall setting in the NAS configuration itself. I couldn’t find it. If that is the problem, then let me know.

Edit 2:

As a temp workaround,
I am running a systemd unit that runs a script. The script sleeps for 10 secs and then runs
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.250:/mnt/network_1/NetworkData/secretdata network

I think I have found the solution.
I tested the connection by transferring a lot of data. And leaving system at idle, and it is working fine.

Firstly, I undid everything I did in previous post.
then I ran the following command
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

People were saying you only need to do any one of the commands listed above; depending on what service the OS is running.

And finally appended this to fstab
192.168.0.250:/mnt/network_1/NetworkData/secretdata /home/aurora/network nfsusers,x-systemd.automount,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14 0 0

If you wanna use CIFS for automount, then use this:
//192.168.0.250/networkStorage /home/aurora/network/ cifs users,x-systemd.automount,username=NASuser,password=NASpassword,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Super - good work :+1:

Thank you for sharing the result.

That is correct :slight_smile:

I would like to add a couple of notes

  1. The service -wait-online is now enabled when you enable the service it-self. It has been different in the past.
  2. Add the _netdev to your option list - this implies to systemd to wait until network is up (which the mentioned service signals).

I had _netdev in the fstab at first. This didn’t work for me. I had to run mount -a everything after boot/reboot.
Then I came across this option x-systemd.automount. After removing _netdev and adding systemd.automount, the NAS drive was auto-mounting and I no longer needed to run mount -a.

P.S.
Sorry for the late response. I just saw my notification.
