I’ll definetly look deeper into this, thank you very much.

I know the image you mean, but I can’t find it.

Best practice

That sounds useful, thank you very much.

I described what I did here.

Meanwhile I found a solution using fstab.

What’s the advantage of using a systemd script?

I’ll probably switch to simple script, since I don’t like the idea of my laptop shouting my NAS access credentials into any available random network on startup.

You’re right, I’ve been mixing up nfs and smb.

Meanwhile, I’ve found a solution: I’ve added the following line to my /etc/fstab:

//nas/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint cifs credentials=/home/yourUserNameHere/.nascreds,uid=yourUserID,gid=yourGroupID,defaults,auto 0 0

then run sudo systemctl daemon-reload followed by sudo mount -av.

make sure your credentials file can only read by users and groups you trust, in my case it’s 750.

However, this is still a workaround. The thing is, GTK-based apps don’t show network resources. That irks me.

Using gvfs-nfs returns unknown file system type.

I’ve run mount -v yadda yadda and got portmap query failed: RPC: Unable to receive - Connection refused
