I have something fundamental.
Let's say I have a folder structure on a network storage that I always mount at startup.
And in this structure there is, for example, a folder pictures.
I would like to mount this folder pictures at start into /home/tom/Pictures
The same with 'Documents' and 'Videos' etc.

when I mount these folders I have them twice on left side, once the folder 'Pictures' (mounted) itself and once the mountpoint (or Favorite, or what ever you want to call it), which is also displayed to me automatically on the left side.

It would be nice, if I would only see the folder 'Pictures' and therein are the data of my NAS without the extra mountpoint in Filemanager.

My System is Deepin Linux

Ideas or suggestions are welcome

I haven't used Deepin but, most current file managers will show the directories you mention in a panel in the file manager windows. I would think that the location you want to mount will be problematic as "Pictures, Documents and Videos" are all default directories in each /home/user directory. So in the file manager, before you mount your network directories, you probably see all those directories for each user. So what you see is probably the directories for the user and the network mounts. Might be simpler to create mount points in a different location. The /mnt directory is a good place to do so.

I don't see how this could be helpful.

I have a structure with folders
Pictures, Videos, Documents on my NAS and I want to include them on startup.
How can this be useful to mount them to /mnt?

Default systems have those 3 directories as a default. If you have an fstab entry to mount partitions on a network storage at those points, I don't know why you would no be able to access them, or if you can. You should not be able to create directories with those same name in /home/tom as they already exist, could be lower case instead of upper case. If you mount your network partitions, you should be able to view the contents but the contents of the orignal /home/tom/Pictures would not be available. If you unmount that partition, the original content of /home/tom/Pictures would be available. If you want mount points in /home/tom, give a different name. If you don't have anything in those original folders, delete them.

Even if you changed mount points, you would still see the original folders (Pictures, Documents, Videos) as well as your new mount points. If the problem is in differentiating them, give the network ones different names.

Yancec,
I am happy about your help but unfortunately you always misunderstand me.
I'll make it as easy as possible:

I want to mount the folder'Pictures' from my NAS to my local folder'/home/tom/Pictures'.

This works wonderfully of course, but the only downer is that the Pictures folder appears twice in the file explorer the moment it is mounted.
First of course because it's there anyway (that's where my mounted drive Pictures from the NAS is now) and the network drive'Pictures'.

So I have wonderful access, only the double entry bothers me. I only want to see the entry'Pictures' once.

This is because all mounted drives automatically appear in the file explorer.
Bad luck only if you mount it into an already existing folder, for example Pictures or Videos, then it appears twice, cause I cannot suppress the "Auto-show-feature-thing..".

So I think I can't express myself more clearly and exactly :=)

Greetings

The directories you are referring to are created automatically on install by most Linux systems from entries in the /etc/skel directory. I'm not familiar with the Deepin file manager, but you could take a look at the link below here at LQ where the user had similar question regarding Deepin. See if the link in post 2 helps.

taumeister, how are you mounting?
have you added them to /etc/fstab?
show us some code, some commands, some output.
would certainly be a good start, and it is possible to add an option to your fstab mount that will hide the "device" from the filemanager:
disclaimer: i am using the opposite of that option, but i have been told in another thread that this works.

Thanks for your help,
I'm afraid I've already tried all that.
With 'comment' without 'comment' in all variations, but unfortunately the mounted drives are shown separately.
There's someone here with similar problems.
(similar, not the same!)

Here's my fstab, nothing special.

EDIT:
hmm..maybe this is related to the protocol Im using?
maybe it is impossible to hide it when I mount a samba share?
....

EDIT:

Yes, if I mount another partition into 'Pictures', it will not be shown twice...

It's stupid that this is displayed in one protocol but not in the other.

What do I do with this realization?

EDIT:
HA! but...it works with sshfs

works and doesnt show up the extra entry in file explorer...cool

it is best if you come up with the solution yourself...
Here's my solution, just in case someone else has the problem.

I installed sshfs and mounted my shares with it.
After a little experimentation and reading at aks ubuntu I found the right setting for me.

my fstab looks like this

and in Nautilus there are no more duplicate entries.

voilá, thank you for your thoughts

Last Edit on this.

I set up cipher=arcfour, compression=no in my fstab to lower the security and disable the standard compression according to this information:
https://www.smork.info/blog/2013/04/...24-163842.html

This boosted my transfer speed from ~60 to 85mb/s. Actually I get 100mb/s with samba, but..its ok.

And because ssh is not directly forwarded from www to my server, the security thing is ok for me, too.

In the end I came up with

! you have to edit the sshd_config file on the server to allow this first

cipher=arcfour
