NAS mount problem [Kubuntu 15.04

[scorpion22]

Hello all,

I`m a first time user, so please have patience with me.
Before i came to Kubuntu i used window$ 7, and now with 8,8.1 and 10, it`s time to go.
I`ve got an Asustor 304 NAS with lots of music on it, but i can`t play it at all, because of mounting problems.
I have tried it with NAUTILUS, but that was no go, so can anybody tell me what i must do in dolphin.


(I try to write it in good english, as good as possible)

I assume the NAS has a network address and is not connected by USB. If so do you see the NAS when you click "Network" in Dolphin?

Hello wartnose,


When i click "network" i see only samba and my satellite receiver.
But when i click on samba than i see my nas.

Bye the way, i moved to KUBUNTU 15.10 because 15.04 got lot of bugs in my language.
But everything is the same as in 15.04 ( network).

When you click the NAS in Samba what happens?

[scorpion22]

The following i see.
I click on network and than Sambanetwork - Workgroup - My NAS.
When i click on my NAS than i see all my folders.
When i right click on my MUSIC folder, than i see a lot of options, one is activities with the option to mount current activity
But when i do that than nothing happens.

Do you know what kind of file system your NAS uses? NFS? Maybe you are missing the required dependencies to view that particular file system. Does anybody know if you have to install anything extra to view NFS?

[scorpion22]

My NAS can play with many file systems such as webDAV>NFS>SSH...
I will give you a link to the manual of my nas, if it is not permit, i`m sorry.

If you can see the NAS under Samba in Dolphin, the NAS is for sure using Windows file sharing (SAMBA aka CIFS). It may also use or have the ability to use NFS. NFS is better for Linux (faster, better streaming, more stable, etc.) but SAMBA is required for windows users.

The best solution really depends on how you plan on accessing it on a regular basis and the capabilities of the NAS itself. Assuming the NAS is fixed (not moving locations), I would mount it using /etc/fstab. If your client (the computer you access it from) is a laptop, then don't mount it automatically (there's ways to check for it before mounting - a much longer post).

If the NAS has NFS and can use both NFS and SAMBA simultaneously, then enable NFS and use that for Linux and SAMBA for Windows. If it can only do one or the other and you need Windows access, use SAMBA for both Linux and Windows.

For example, mounting via fstab, not automatically, with user access rights for everyone on your network (just like was suggested in the Ubuntu Dutch forum )- the fstab entry using SAMBA might look like:
//<NAS IP ADDRESS>/<SHARE NAME>/ /<MOUNT POINT>/ cifs user=<SAMBA USERNAME>,password=<SAMBA PASSWORD>,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gi d=1000,x-systemd.automount 0 0

There's tons of other option so do some searching.

Gentleman`s,

My problem with mounting my NAS is solved,.
With some help from people from the dutch "ubuntu forum" .
So i will thank wartnose and oshunluvr for helping me so far as it went.
Thank you very much.

For the benefit of others on Kubuntuforums, would you either, specify the solution that you obtained, or post a link to where the solution may be viewed?

O.k,
But i most warn everyone, it`s only in DUTCH.
So you must translate it yourself (or dutch is your second language)
