Thank you; this was a great guide. Sufficiently-details and clear, but succinct too.

[joshportelli]

THIS is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! Very clear, detailed, and concise explanation!

[yippeethreeeight]

Excellent video. This gives me what I need to know, explains it just enough, without stuff I don't care about.

[TommyViper]

I stumbled upon this video and I'm glad I did! My shares, while mounted and functional, the mount command was a bit different and it seemed like things lagged a bit. I followed these instructions and now my shares access seems so much faster and even restarting doesn't take a long time like it used to either. Great video!

[SundanceBN]

Many thanks for the video. Very helpful. As a Windows user, I can't believe this is the way to connect a network share. This is a good example of why the normal computer user doesn't want to switch to Linux. It is a mess.

[ThatEntityGirl]

Thank you. I appreciate that you actually explain what each part of these lines actually do.

[Stiffy_the_magnificent]

sir, I want to thank you for this, it saved me a headache trying to get my auto mount to work!

[WillBelden]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Been a Windows guy my entire 30-something years behind a keyboard. Linux is HARD.

[jeffreyvanderhorst]

Thanks for the vid, I was struggling with mounting a share on Debian, this worked for me!

[theFakeSleepyJoe]

Amazing! This is exactly what I was trying to figure out. Thanks you!

[LucasKRNL]

Very clear and straight to the point. Great tutorial, thanks friend!

[Vlado]

Thanks for the guide. I hope there will be much easier and automated way to mount permanently network shares in the future.

Really could use a right click “Mount on startup” option. I really want to like and promote Linux, but as long as they gatekeep with stuff like this it will never happen

`sudo mount -a`
mount.nfs: requested NFS verison or trans... not supported
i came here to resolve this error when doing sudo mount <IP>/path /localpath but all you gave me was a new way to get the same error!

[clivewi]

The mount is owned by Root, and although you can read from the mount you can't write to the mount unless you make your sell root at which point it works fine.

am using a Pi-Nas running OMV.. connects perfectly and instantly in Windows 10... but when I am trying to connect my Linux Mint LMDE 6 Faye machine, it is saying unable to CHDIR to my Nas directory. I >KNOW< my directory, I have tried caps and lower case, no avail. :(

[HudoHudHudec]

it takes 2 minutes on Windows to solve this problem... on rocky linux it took me ages and I ctill can't figure it out.... your should add troubleshooting at the end. I have problems with credential file it seems... and I cannot find a way around it

[AndehX]

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

pretty important first step conveniently missed from the video...

[Mau]

having problems with the second sudo command, could it be a the drive I am trying to mount is not the correct format?? It works on Windows machine

[Lann]

I wonder why linux is still unpopular. Oh yes, maybe the fact that things like perma mounting a network drive needs a 5 minute long tutorial on youtube.
