However I cannot get it to mount the Synology NAS, despite using exactly the same command as previously used (I had the fstab saved in a text file). When I tried sudo mount -a the two other internal drives mounted but the NAS gave this error:
Hi Gordon,
I should have been more explicit, the backup is /not/ on the NAS, it's on a external USB drive which mounts without any issues. They are two separate problems.You can't restore because you can't mount.
It's sat on a shelf about two feet away, is powered up and nothing changed in the configuration. It mounts manually on the same box if I go to Network, double-click it and enter the NAS password.You can't mount because:mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on 192.168.0.3:/volume1/Hera,missing codepage or helper program, or other error (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or soSo - you need to work out why the NFS mount is failing. This could be many reasons - the NAS is turned off, changed IP address or broken. Can you verify it by mounting it on another Linux device?
Another reasons - does your newly re-installed Mint have NFS installed by default? Did you need to add it last time?Try: grep nfs /proc/filesystems
julian@CERCE ~ $ grep nfs /proc/filesystems nodev nfs nodev nfs4 Looks to have been installed by default. Kind regards, Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
