OK, I've finally taken the plunge and gotten a fantastic nice new shiny NAS
(A Synolgy DS413J)
However I'm struggling to get my NAS HDDs mounted and visable on my PC/network.
I've ran through the setup (using Synolgy Disk Station Manager = DSM).
I can connect to the NAS via a web broswer fine.
My main question is this -
1. How do I now get my NAS and it's HDD's to appear/mount/be usable on my network
so that either PC can connect to it and share/swap data and files ?
Do I need to create some mount points in the FSTAB ?
I gave it a try and got the following error messages
command =
- Code: Select all
root@[PC name]:~/Documents# mount 192.168.x.xx:xxxx/volume1/video /media
error message =
- Code: Select all
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.x.xx:xxxx/volume1/video,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I beleive it's because I left a colon from the end of the IP address ?
I then tried again with the colon and got the following error =
- Code: Select all
bash: 192.168.x.xx:xxxx:/volume1/video: No such file or directory
Here is one of the lines from my FSTAB relating to my NAS box.
- Code: Select all
192.168.x.xx:xxxx/volume1/video ext4 defaults 0 0
Useful info
Ubuntu 12.04

Synology DS413J NAS =
2x 3TB HDD's in Synolgys hybrid RAID array (Kinda RAID 1) making a total of

Any help or advice would be grateful appreciated !
Thanks.
