I’m trying to mount my Synology NAS on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian. I works when I do it the following command:
sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.178.**:/volume1/my_data / /home/pi/mount/NAS
but it doesn’t work with this entry in /etc/fstab:
192.186.178.**:/volume1/my_data /home/pi/mount/NAS nfs defaults 0 0
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: pro tip: make sure you get the IP addresses right so you won’t spend days chasing after a trivial error like some idiot. Don’t ask me how I know. Thanks to @Arlos for pointing that out.
I assume you’ve just twisted two numbers in the second octet.
186but in the example above it’s168Fix it and it should work.
Holy crap. You’re right. For the record: I’m an idiot.
What do you mean “doesn’t work”? Is there some error message in the log (dmesg, /var/log/messages, on the console, whatever raspbian uses)?
What error message do you have (if any) when you try to mount your folder (
sudo mount /home/pi/mount/NAS)I just get this:
mount.nfs: Connection timed outWeird. Have you tried removing
0 0at the end of your fstab entry? This option is not supported on recent NFS versions
after modifying /etc/fstab you’d have to manually run
sudo mount -afor the settings to take effect.As a wild guess, try completely specifying the IP address in your fstab instead of relying on a wildcard. Wouldn’t be the first time there was a slight difference in how a marginal feature like that worked in different contexts.
The IP address in the actual file is complete. I just didn’t want to put it here. I guess I should have put another number.
This is what my fstab entry looks like.
synas.com:/volume1/Music /mnt/music nfs nofail,noauto,x-systemd.automount
If that works, but you want to figure out the root cause, let me know and we can get it figured out.
