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...

I finally worked this out. No, I hadn't spent all of four years slaving over it, I'd mostly put it aside and forgotten about it. Earlier this year I'd made Linux Mint my primary desktop (couldn't live with Ubuntu's restricted superuser account), at which time it went back on the front burner.
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<name>,password=<password>,rw,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.100.239/<directory> /mnt/readynas
This mounts the designated directory on my NAS to the local /mnt/readynas directory.
As I mentioned earlier, there is no security on the network share. The user name and password referenced in the command are for a local account with sufficient privilege to mount a file system on the local /mnt/readynas directory.
