From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How the hell do I set up my NAS (Synology) and laptop so that I have certain shares mapped when I'm on my home network - AND NOT freeze up the entire machine when I'm not???
For years I've been un/commenting a couple of lines in my fstab but it's just not okay to do it that way.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab#External_devices
looks like this will do it. no-fail and a systemd timeout
Aha, interesting, thank you. So setting
nofailand a time out of, say, 5s should work... but what then when I try to access the share, will it attempt to remount it?Look up "automount". You can tell linux to watch for access to a directory and mount it on demand.
This is also what I'd like to know, and I think the answer is no. I want to have NFS not wait indefinitely to reconnect, but when I reconnect and try going to the NFS share, have it auto-reconnect.
edit: This seemed to work for me, without waiting indefinitely, and with automatic reconnecting, as a command (since I don't think bg is an fstab option, only a mount command option): sudo mount -o soft,timeo=10,bg serveripaddress:/server/path /client/path/
You could simply use a graphical tool to mount it. Nautilus has it built in and I'm sure other tools have it as well.
Sneaky swedes :)
User login script could do it. Have it compare the wireless ssid and mount the share if it matches. If you set the entry in fstab to noauto it’ll leave it alone till something says to mount it.
