[SOLVED] Problem with mounting NFS at start up

[bill-lancaster]

I have a WD mycloud NFS.
I can manually mount the drive with:-

sudo mount -t cifs -o ,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,rw,soft //192.168.xxx.xxx/Public  /media/mycloud

I have added the following line to /etc/fstab

//192.168.xxx.xxx/Public /media/mycloud cifs uid=bill,credentials=/home/bill/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Dolphin shows 'Public on 192.168.xxx.xxx' but I get this error when trying to access it:-

An error occurred while accessing 'Home', the system responded: mount: /media/mycloud: operation permitted for root only

Try adding the option user to the fstab entry:

//192.168.xxx.xxx/Public /media/mycloud cifs uid=bill,credentials=/home/bill/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,user 0 0

Terrific. Just four little letters! Thank you, it works just fine.
