SanjooooMe, trying to step into the world of linux
UntouchedWagonsHere’s how to mount an nfs share:
#cat /etc/systemd/system/mnt.data.mount [Unit] Description=nfs mount script [Mount] What=192.168.0.30:/mnt/tank/Media Where=/mnt/data Type=nfs4 [Install] WantedBy=remote-fs.target
NineYeap! You can even make an automount unit too! That way it’s mounted on demand! Makes life sooo much easier. I even do it for my external drives I use for backups
zelifcamYou must be confused. No one wants the actual answers in this community. They simply take scenarios a beginner might experience before doing any research at all and type them in-front of poorly compressed cartoon images. No thought or humor involved. Since everything is new and users are desperate for content, it gets votes no matter the quality.
I’ve had Linux problems before too when I was still trying to use it and I’d post the issues on like 4-5 different active forums and never get anything to solve it. So posting a meme acting like something is impossible seems like an amazing way to get instant help from the Linux knights.
and btw, the i never though about monting using systemd, no i came for the memes, and learned something
Fwiw, as someone also recently new to Linux, I thought this captured part of the experience brilliantly, and without malice.
Of course op probably went on to google (and find) the answer, so I agree with you that getting the answer with this post was probably not the point. But it’s a quality shitpost, and I endorse it! 😀
ShustOneLinux user here, this would have been super helpful to me in the past. I don’t think it’s that the world is full of master Linux users that don’t post, it’s that new people need more help and have more questions.
Kinda interested now, why would you use systemd script for this instead of fstab ?
elscallrSo you can easily start and stop it as a service and you get your logging easily accessible via journalctl as a unit. But practically speaking there’s not much difference.
With these systemd mount files I don’t need to touch the fstab, I can use ansible to copy the file, enable the service then start it. I can also have other services like Docker, Jellyfin or whatever to depend on that service. If the nfs share can’t be mounted then systemd won’t try to start docker.
Oh that’s actually really good reason with docker containers that rely on the NFS share. Thanks, I’m gonna steal this
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.
How would you do this with fstab? (Working with an smb share which I’m assuming is standard)
I described what I did here.
Manjaro: Can't access smb share with GTK-based apps - Feddit
Hello, I’ve just started to return to linux as my main work environment after a few years of abstinence. I want to access an smb share, which is running on my NAS system, which is working fine with plasma / KDE apps, but with GTK-based apps, like Firefox and Code, I can’t see my share. Edit: the mount issue has been solved, the error was in front of the screen. mount -t nfs nas:/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint creates a symlink but then never finishes running. I’ve installed gvfs-smb. What am I doing wrong? I use Manjaro Plasma btw.
sudoYou may want to consider adding nofail and x-systemd.device-timeout opinions on the mount as well if the NFS isn’t critical to the device booting, and speed up your boot process a bit.
That sounds useful, thank you very much.
TechnoguyficationI’ve always mounted network shares in fstab, what’s the benefit to doing it with systemd?
Stillyou can stop and start it via systemctl and systemd is going to make mounts for fstab entries automatically, I just put local drives in my fstab so that way I can copy mount files between machines
exuSystemd can retry mounting based on the restart policy in case you have an interruption.
With these systemd mount files I don’t need to touch the fstab, I can use ansible to copy the file, enable the service then start it. I can also have other services like Docker, Jellyfin or whatever to depend on that service. If the nfs share can’t be mounted then systemd won’t try to start docker.
An now explain how to setup Kerberos
EccitazeOh that’s easy! I have this friendly multi-page PDF that assumes you have an active directory domain already (god rest your soul if you’re raw dogging kerberos and ldap raw) that walks you through the instructions step by step and…
mount.nfs4: access denied by server
No idea, I don’t use Kerberos.
I use SSHFS and some pretty simple helper scripts for all my shared folder needs. Works pretty well IMO. I’ve never really used NFS nor mounted SMB shares on a Linux machine.
Googling an issue and copy pasting the first terminal code you see on the first result.
Best practice
dylanTheDeveloperMy wifi stopped working
cRazi_manGoogling is so difficult for a Linux noon and takes a whole weekend to go through forums looking for solutions and commands to paste. I’m having much more success asking ChatGPT. ChatGPT and the Steam Deck have been the biggest factors in making me use Linux more and more.
Holodeck_MoriartyOh wow, why haven’t I thought about asking chat gpt? That seems like a good place to start.
rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
It looks like the command you’re trying to paste contains danger—
yes, yes I know what paste is let gooooo
:(){ :|:& };:
:(){ :|:& };:
Rikudou_Sage[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf --no-preserve-root / || echo *Click*
Or a version for pussies:
[ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && echo ‘*You dead*’ || echo ‘*Click*’
Me, trying to create a compressed tar archive
Compress Zee Vucking Files: tar -czvf out.tar files.
I know the image you mean, but I can’t find it.
I always say out loud “Compressed Zipped Verbose File” or “eXtract Zipped Verbose File”

man?! …a miserable pile of secrets…!
ѕєχυαℓ ρσℓутσρєI saw that you figured it out using
fstab. Since it’s a network share, you may wanna check out autofs too.
I’ll definetly look deeper into this, thank you very much.
Something that works fairly well for me:
- Make a copy of the file you’re working
sudo copy /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak - Ask a particular question to ChatGPT
How do I mount a samba share in Ubuntu Server 22.04? - Read through the commands and try them out. ChatGPT is great for stuff like this, especially with follow-up questions, and giving you detailed info on error messages.
- If you fubar, then simply restore your backup file and try again.
