I'm trying to auto-mount a NAS drive I have to Ubuntu Server, but it's giving me an issue where it doesn't seem to find the NAS name on the network when I mount it.
Pulling up the shares like this works fine, and gives me a print out of the shares on the NAS.
smbclient -L //NASNAMEHERE
I proceeded to add the share I want to /etc/fstab using the line below. The .smbcredentials
file contains the user/pass combo for RW access to the share.:
//NASNAMEHERE/Archive /home/user/Archive cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
However, when I run sudo mount -a
to mount the new device, it gives me this.
mount error: could not resolve address for martinez-nas: Unknown error
It seems to be a networking issue, as I can't seem to ping the NAS by name directly, but I'm confused about why this won't work, if smbclient
can properly find the NAS and list the shares.
Running Ubuntu Server 14.04.2
