How to map to NAS share from Linux by CLI?
I've searched the forum and found others having problems mapping ReadyNAS shares to a *NIX box but none of that helped me find a solution. I have two NVs, one is a plus, both are on RAIDiator 4.1.7...
As you already figured, mounting SMB/CIFS shares from the command line is a PITA :) Afair there's two major obstacles that need to be overcome. First, that the actual mounting can only be done by the root user. Second, that you need to get the parameters right.
I found that the easiest way of getting it to work was to use automount. Using that has two advantages: shares will only be mounted when needed/accessed and the syntax to use is fairly simple. I'd love to provide examples but I'm currently some hu dred miles from home and office and connected through a shaky GSM connection so VPN is all but a theoretical possibility. If you can't figure out the setup on your own, just ping in about two weeks, I should have access to my setup by then.
