Mounting a shared folder in Linux

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud EX4

Hello,

as i stated i tried to mount a folder in the storage as a folder in linux (CentOS to be exact). I’ve checked the setting on the NAS interface but i found no problem, tried the usual command on linux but i kept getting timeout error. Am i mistaken on the command or i need to enable some setting in the NAS GUI?

the command i’ve been using is like this

mount 10.0.2.xxx:/Volume_1/NAS1 /downloads/testmount/

Hi qhalidx, welcome to the WD Community. Linux is not a supported OS, but maybe some of the other users can share some advice.

For more permenantly mounted shares, I have lines like this in my /etc/mtab

//10.x.x.x/[share] /mnt/[mountpoint] cifs rw,username=[myusername],password=[mypassword] 0 0

and then if it doesn’t just work, I can mount manually like this:

mount /mnt/[mountpoint]

Or to do it manually, I usually use:

mount -o user=[username],password=* -t cifs //10.x.x.x/[share]  /mnt/[mountpoint]
