Mounting NAS

What sharing system does the NAS use? SFTP? FTP? SMB?

Nautilus can connect to these OK and will manage mounting for you. If you want it to be mounted at boot then I suggest you add it to /etc/fstab
This will need a folder to mount to (as you already know)

I have SMB and AFP enabled but NFS is also available.

I'm unsure how to use Nautilus.

Then treat is as a windows share. Nautilus has "Other Locations" in the left pane, try that

or "Browse network"

I have typed the following in the /etc/fstab file:

//192.168.1.10/DiskStation /media/DiskStation cifs auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=gordon,credentials=root/.cifscredentials,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775 0 0

It was working on reboot yesterday, mounting the nas automatically with read/write privileges, but today its giving me the error Unable to access "DiskStation" mount:/media/DiskStation: operation permitted for root only.

Can someone help me fix this?

Ok so I have gnome tweaks installed and I've noticed that if I have show mounted volumes selected in gnome tweaks then the nas automounts but if I have it off then i get the error when I try to click the mount on the sidebar

That returned error 13

What action did you execute, which then gave error 13 (Permission denied)?

I added the word user as instructed above

How did you try doing this?
Editing this config file requires administrative rights.

yeah I did sudo nano /etc/fstab and then have the following

##DiskStation Mount
//192.168.1.10/DiskStation /media/DiskStation cifs auto,users,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=gordon,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Now try accessing the NAS again.

Seems to be automounting now. Done two reboots with the nas automounting with no problems and read/write privileges. Thank you very much.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
