# NAS Mount Setup Guide for Fedora 42 ## Quick Setup Instructions Your NAS IP: `192.168.68.51` Mount Point: `/mnt/share/media` ### Prerequisites (Already Installed) - `cifs-utils` - for SMB/CIFS mounting - `nfs-utils` - for NFS mounting ### Option 1: Automated Setup (Recommended) Run the interactive setup script: ```bash ./setup-nas-mount.sh ``` This script will: - Test both SMB and NFS connectivity - Guide you through the setup process - Create persistent mount configuration - Set up systemd mount units for reliable boot mounting ### Option 2: Manual SMB/CIFS Setup 1. **Test SMB shares first:** ```bash # List available shares (you'll need NAS credentials) smbclient -L 192.168.68.51 -U your_username ``` 2. **Create credentials file (if using authentication):** ```bash sudo tee /etc/nas-credentials << EOF username=your_nas_username password=your_nas_password domain=WORKGROUP EOF sudo chmod 600 /etc/nas-credentials ``` 3. **Test mount:** ```bash # With credentials sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.68.51/share_name /mnt/share/media -o credentials=/etc/nas-credentials,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),iocharset=utf8 # Or for guest access sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.68.51/share_name /mnt/share/media -o guest,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),iocharset=utf8 ``` 4. **Add to /etc/fstab for persistence:** ```bash # Backup fstab first sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup # Add entry (with credentials) echo "//192.168.68.51/share_name /mnt/share/media cifs credentials=/etc/nas-credentials,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),iocharset=utf8,noauto,user 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab # Or for guest access echo "//192.168.68.51/share_name /mnt/share/media cifs guest,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),iocharset=utf8,noauto,user 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab ``` ### Option 3: Manual NFS Setup 1. **Check available NFS exports:** ```bash showmount -e 192.168.68.51 ``` 2. **Test mount:** ```bash sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.68.51:/path/to/export /mnt/share/media -o rw,hard,intr ``` 3. **Add to /etc/fstab:** ```bash echo "192.168.68.51:/path/to/export /mnt/share/media nfs rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,noauto,user 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab ``` ### Systemd Mount Unit (For Reliable Boot Mounting) Create `/etc/systemd/system/mnt-share-media.mount`: ```ini [Unit] Description=Mount NAS Media Share After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Mount] What=//192.168.68.51/share_name Where=/mnt/share/media Type=cifs Options=credentials=/etc/nas-credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Enable it: ```bash sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable mnt-share-media.mount sudo systemctl start mnt-share-media.mount ``` ### Common Commands - **Mount manually:** `sudo mount /mnt/share/media` - **Unmount:** `sudo umount /mnt/share/media` - **Check mount status:** `df -h /mnt/share/media` - **Test systemd mount:** `sudo systemctl start mnt-share-media.mount` ### Troubleshooting 1. **Check connectivity:** ```bash ping 192.168.68.51 ``` 2. **Test SMB connection:** ```bash nc -zv 192.168.68.51 445 ``` 3. **Test NFS connection:** ```bash nc -zv 192.168.68.51 2049 ``` 4. **Check mount logs:** ```bash journalctl -u mnt-share-media.mount ``` 5. **Verify fstab syntax:** ```bash sudo mount -a ``` ### Security Notes - Credentials file should have 600 permissions (readable only by root) - Consider using NFS over SMB for better performance on Linux - Use `noauto` in fstab to prevent boot delays if NAS is unavailable - The `user` option allows regular users to mount/unmount ### Integration with Your Backup Scripts Your `backup-media.sh` script already references `/mnt/share/media/backups`, so once the NAS is mounted, your backups will automatically work with the NAS storage. Make sure your backup script has proper error handling for when the NAS is not mounted: ```bash # Add this check to your backup scripts if ! mountpoint -q /mnt/share/media; then log_error "NAS not mounted at /mnt/share/media" exit 1 fi ```
