OK, lets make the shortcuts first:

Code: [Select]

mkdir /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/family-tree /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/family-tree

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/graeme /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/graeme

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/movies /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/movies

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/multimedia /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/multimedia

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/pat /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/pat

then

Code: [Select]

ln -s /mnt/freenas/utilities /home/graeme/Desktop/NAS/utilities

then test the shortcut called multimedia in the NAS folder on your desktop .. can you see the files ?

Yes all the files are there

OK, now we're going to add the fstab entries one at a time, so we can test for errors:

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

add a NEW LINE at the bottom that reads:

Code: [Select]

//192.168.2.100/utilities /mnt/freenas/utilities cifs credentials=/home/graeme/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

SAVE the file.

run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

Check the utilities folder (in NAS on desktop) .. can you see the files ?

run:

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

SAVE the file.

run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

Check the graeme folder (in NAS on desktop) .. can you see the files ?

BTW, don't get ahead of me, as the family tree mount needs special attention because of the space in the directory name.

All right and correct

run:

All right and correct

[Mark Greaves (PCNetSpec)]

OK the "family tree" directory on the freenas box needs special attention .. fstab doesn't like spaces in filenames, so you have to replace them with the special octal character \040 .. so family tree becomes family\040tree

run:

Code: [Select]

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

add a NEW LINE at the bottom that reads:

Code: [Select]

//192.168.2.100/family\040tree /mnt/freenas/family-tree cifs credentials=/home/graeme/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

SAVE the file.

run:

Code: [Select]

sudo mount -a

Check the family-tree folder (in NAS on desktop) .. can you see the files ?
