Show NFS mounted drives in Nemo in Devices area

[ciniset]

Hi. My system is

OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
Host: SATELLITE S70-B (PSPPNE-00M008G6)
Kernel: Linux 6.18.4-1-MANJARO
Packages: 1507 (pacman)[stable], 18 (flatpak)
Shell: bash 5.3.9
DE: Cinnamon 6.6.3
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ (8) @ 3.50 GHz
GPU 1: AMD Radeon HD 8850M / R9 M265X
GPU 2: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller @ 1.20 GHz [Integrated]
Memory: 1.80 GiB / 15.53 GiB (12%)
Swap: 0 B / 17.08 GiB (0%)
Disk (/): 38.81 GiB / 898.71 GiB (4%) - ext4
Disk (/mnt/work512GB): 13.78 GiB / 468.39 GiB (3%) - ext4
Locale: en_US.UTF-8

Please help me figure out if there is a way to show nfs mounted drive - not in /etc/fstab but in cli - under nemo’s Devices.
I have installed gvfs-nfs. I know I can bookmark mount location but it would help me seeing that in Devices area.

Thank you.

Tip

When posting terminal output, copy the output and paste it here, wrapped in three (3) backticks, before AND after the pasted text. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Sed
sollicitudin dolor
eget nisl elit id
condimentum
arcu erat varius
cursus sem quis eros.

Instead of like this:

Sed sollicitudin dolor eget nisl elit id condimentum arcu erat varius cursus sem quis eros.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby increasing legibility thus making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

On this forum here you need to have Trust Level 1 (=TL1) to be able to post screenshots and links in-line.

That’s dumb! Why is that?

Well, that’s because on our old forum we got tons of screenshots of text, links to SPAM, PR0N and other things you don’t want on a forum, so all the new users are prohibited from posting links and pics because of a few bad actors.

As I’m a moderator on the forum, I have taken the liberty of doing this for you, this time.

Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum Users. Please take the time to to understand how it is done and encourage quality responses.

I’ll do that

Thank you. I saw/tried that before posting. It seams is not applicable to me because I just need to mount by CLI not in fstab.

It has been a while since using Nemo (in a Cinnamon desktop) – if memory serves, in order to access network shares (while in Nemo) you would need to:

Go to File → Connect toServer:

• Complete the Server details – that is, whether you’re connecting to a remote file system via SSH, or to a “Windows share” (basically, SMB on TCP).
• Complete the User details.

Once that is done, the Server should arguably appear under Network in the left hand panel. Supposedly, NFS is supported, but I’ve never used it.

I seem to recall a plugin for Nemo called nemo-share; whether that might extend the functionality, I can’t say, however it’s available in the official repositories if you wish to experiment.

sudo pacman -S nemo-share

When you have opened the network location - you will see it under the Network section in the left pane.

Right-click on the location, then click on Add Bookmark

You cannot see it under Devices, because it isn’t a device.

A storage device has a block device special file associated with it under /dev, and network storage does not fall into that category, unless the remote server exports its block devices across the network — as would be the case with storage area networks.

However, as others have told you, it can be made to show up under Network, and you can create a bookmark to it in your file manager.

In dolphin — the file manager that comes with Plasma — you can then also even create a link to the network storage from the Network section to your home directory. Perhaps nemo offers you that option as well.
