Connecting to a local NAS

Hi All

Linux newbie question here, I have a local NAS that I can browse to which works fine but I can’t seem to get it to auto mount.

I know I have to edit the fstab file but all of the walk throughs I’ve seen suggest pointing the mount point to the UUID of the disk. How does that work when you’re looking at an array?

Thanks in advance.

The key is knowing what the UUID of your array device is (LVM logical volume, RAID array, hardware array, etc.). Once you have identified that UUID, you can add it to your fstab.

You can use sudo blkid to list all UUIDs, which will show your array device along with its individual member disks. You want the UUID of the array device itself (like /dev/md0 for RAID or /dev/mapper/vg-lv for LVM), not the individual member disks.

Apologies, I can’t show examples from my setup since I use ZFS for my NAS, which works differently than typical arrays.

Thanks I’ll give that a bash
