/etc/fstab

The file where the default mounts are stored.

<> - Is used to mark that you need to fill that in

The nofail-flag is so that boot does not hang till it is mounted. You may need to run sudo mount -a after boot.

Mounting a drive

Local DRIVES

BTRFS

Example:

UUID=<UUID> </path/to/mount>  btrfs  noatime,compress=zstd,ssd,space_cache=v2,discard=async,nofail  0  0

NTFS (ntfs-3g)

Example:

UUID=<UUID>  </path/to/mount>  ntfs-3g  defaults,nofail,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022,noatime,big_writes,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10  0  0

NFS

Example:

<IP>:<path/to/share> </path/to/mount> nfs rw,_netdev,nofail,noatime,nconnect=8,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,x-systemd.automount 0 0

!!! You need to have the UIDs matched for read and write access to the files on the NFS share.

SAMBA (CIFS)

Example:

//<IP>/<Sharename> </path/to/mount> cifs credentials=</path/to/credentials>,nofail,vers=3.1.1,iocharset=utf8,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0660,dir_mode=0770,hard,intr,cache=loose 0 0

Credentials:

username=<username>
password=<password>

To get the names of the shares:

smbclient -L //<IP> -U <username>
