I want to mount a webfolder (NAS-storage) via the terminal. In the end I want to be able to open documents via 'Spyder3' (a python IDE) stored in the webfolder.
The manual of the host gives this command
mount –t cifs //nas.ads.mwn.de/<share_name> <mountpoint> -o username=<lrz-kennung>,domain=ADS
I adapted it for my paths etc. to
sudo mount –t cifs //nas.ads.mwn.de/USER /media/ferdi/webdisk -o username=USER,domain=ADS,vers=2.1
this results in: mount: bad usage
I checked the package with:
apt list cifs-utils
this results in: Listing... Done cifs-utils/bionic,now 2:6.8-1 amd64 [installed]
I'm not sure about the vers (the meaning and the correct usage). That is just what was written in the host's manual.
The "vers" argument seems to be quite tricky and it highly depends on the Samba version of the server (in this case your NAS box). From the man page:
vers=args means SMB protocol version. Allowed values are:
From my experience is better for you to try with different versions to find out which one runs with your combination of cifs-utils versions VS. NAS's Samba implementation version.
And to avoid bad results on the tests you make, I recommend you to use the IP instead of the host name ;)
