Thunar smb share is disappearing/appearing

[gdh]

Hi folks,
I mounted an smb share via systemd mount units.
Mounts are working but that 2nd Qnap folder is every 20-40s disappearing for 1-2 seconds.

it looks odd to me, that there is a folder and even more that it does this disappear/appearing thing all the time.

home-desktop-Qnap.mount file in /etc/systemd/system:

[Unit]
Description=FreeNas Mount
After=network.target
[Mount]
What=//192.168.0.119/Qnap
Where=/home/desktop/Qnap
Type=cifs    Options=_netdev,iocharset=utf8,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,credentials=/home/desktop/.smbpasswd
TimeoutSec=30
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

and the automount file:

[Unit]
Description=Automount freenas home-desktop-Qnap.mount
ConditionPathExists=/home/desktop/Qnap

[Automount]
Where=/home/desktop/Qnap
TimeoutIdleSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[gdh]

is any information missing?

Hello @gdh

Have look here:

TimeoutIdleSec=

Configures an idle timeout. Once the mount has been idle for the specified time, systemd will attempt to unmount. Takes a unit-less value in seconds, or a time span value such as “5min 20s”. Pass 0 to disable the timeout logic. The timeout is disabled by default.

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.automount.html

Idle means: If nothing is working on that connection, it will unmount it and therefore it disappeared.

jep, switching to TimeoutIdleSec=0 in automount file seems to did the trick!

Thanks a lot.
