Mount shared ReadyNAS folder on Ubuntu
Hi! I am having a problem trying to mount an NFS shared folder on Ubuntu 20.04. I have followed the instructions here, as well as several other sites with similiar instructions. The readyNAS 104 ...
OK, you say the share is SMB, but you are attempting to mount it via NFS. Those are two different protocols. You either have to enable NFS (and the whole NAS, if it's not already on) and set NFS access rights for the share or mount it on the remote system using SMB.
Use SMB only. Combining things with NFS is a much to complex plan.
Thanks, I'm almost there!
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=plex //192.168.20.251 /mnt/local_share
I get 'Password for plex@//192.168.20.251: (press TAB for no echo)"
The user 'plex' has a password of 'plex' but it doesnt work, or the admin password. I must be be missing something basic and very obvious.regards,

The shared folder on the NAS (configured for the access for the plex user [or a group including plex]) you want to access from the Ubuntu system isn't there.
The access management is based on shared folders, you can't mount the root.
I guess I need to setup a user on ubunto, I'll research that tomorrow as its to late now to concentrate on this :)
I still cant get it working, I have created a user from https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-add-and-enable-users-for-samba-share/
The password for the user is not being accepted, Ive attached a screen capture.
I appreciate the suggestions.
I have also added the following to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[share1]
comment = A Shared Directory
guest ok = Yes
path = /share
read only = No
valid users = mark
linus user is mark, password is mark
