Mounting hard-drives from external sources. [Solved]
BkS:
I'm currently trying to permanently mount my NAS's 3 hard-drives to a single directory. It won't matter if the drives have different names as they'll just be for storing files anyway. I need to create symlinks, but I don't know how to do that.

Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec):
Bearing in mind one of the drives is only 20GB .. what do you want the mountpoints, and therefore the visible folders on the NAS to be called ?
Sommat like
Docs = 20GB
and
Main_Share = 200GB
?
BkS:
Wallpapers = 20GB
Main Share = 200GB
Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec):
OK, lets create the mountpoints, and the NAS-Shares directory -
--- Code: ---
mkdir ~/NAS-Shares
sudo mkdir /mnt/NAS-20GB
sudo mkdir /mnt/NAS-200GB
--- End code ---
OK, now for the symlinks (I'll use the suggested names above, so adjust if you wish) -
--- Code: ---
ln -s /mnt/NAS-20GB ~/NAS-Shares/Wallpapers
ln -s /mnt/NAS-200GB ~/NAS-Shares/Main_Share
--- End code ---
Now lets make sure the ~/NAS-Shares directory ISN'T writeable ..
--- Code: ---
chmod 555 ~/NAS-Shares
--- End code ---
Now backup your /etc/fstab (just in case)
--- Code: ---
sudo cp -v /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup
--- End code ---
Open fstab for editing:
--- Code: ---
sudo nano /etc/fstab
--- End code ---
and add the two lines at the bottom so it reads:-
--- Code: ---
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name
# devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=ff0a5255-09f5-4b23-a2d2-8db9cebc726d / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=652469de-ef92-47ea-8e42-25deb43687fe none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/NAS-200GB ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/NAS-20GB ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0
--- End code ---
SAVE fstab ..
Now run:
--- Code: ---
sudo mount -a
--- End code ---
and post any output.
If nothing is returned .. post the output from:
--- Code: ---
mount
--- End code ---
Is there anything currently on those drives ?
IF YES .. can you confirm you can see the contents with:
--- Code: ---
ls ~/NAS-Shares/Wallpapers
--- End code ---
and
--- Code: ---
ls ~/NAS-Shares/Main_Share
--- End code ---
