I have an FSTAB command in place however I get this error:


I pulled this error from systemctcl status nfs-nas.mount command

-------------Anyone know what mount error 95 means?

( MINT flavor )

Welcome to LinuxQuestions

Please post the exact line from your /etc/fstab file that is associated with the mounting the NAS share.

As a FYI your trying to mount the share using cifs which is Windows file sharing and not the same thing as nfs. I only mention the fact since your share mount point is /nfs/nas. Synology has the capability to be a samba (CIFS/SMB) server as well as a nfs server so make sure it is setup correctly.

If you are trying to mount using CIFS you might need to install the samba utilities. From a terminal window run the command.

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

//192.168.1.12/volume1/NAS-Storage /nfs/nas cifs username=guest,password=REDACTED,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777


Is there a different command structure you would use for this NAS ?

It's a DS218+

The CIFS utils packages are in place.

I suspect it is due to smb version. I don't know what version is running on the NAS but try:

After the FSTAB edit

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.12:/volume1/NAS-Storage /nfs/nas/


If I use the following mount command, it mounts the NAS and works fine.

However fstab command continues to fail.

Ok, then you need to change /etc/fstab

That worked 100% on reboot!

Very much appreciate the help here. It wont be the last time I'm on the forum!
