To mount NAS storage to a Linux system, you can follow these steps:

  1. Make sure the NAS storage device is connected to the network and has the correct network settings configured.
  2. Create a directory for mounting in a Linux system by using the following command, such as creating a directory named /mnt/nas.
  3. Create a directory named “nas” under the “/mnt” directory using superuser privileges.
  4. Use the following command to mount the NAS storage device to the directory that was created just now:
  5. Use sudo to mount the shared directory at //NAS_IP/共享目录路径 to /mnt/nas with the specified username and password for access.
  6. In this case, NAS_IP is the IP address of the NAS storage device, the shared directory path is the path of the shared directory to be mounted in the NAS, and the username and password are the credentials for accessing the NAS storage.
  7. You can mount the NAS storage device using the following command if it is using the NFS protocol.
  8. Mount the shared directory path on the NAS IP to /mnt/nas using NFS as the file system type.
  9. After the mounting is completed, you can use the following command to check the mounting status:
  10. Show me the mounted directories that contain “/mnt/nas”.
  11. To automatically mount the NAS storage device at system startup, the mounting command can be added to the /etc/fstab file.
  12. Mount the shared directory at /mnt/nas using the username and password provided, with NAS_IP as the host.
  13. Alternatively, regarding the NFS protocol:
  14. NAS_IP:/shared_directory_path /mnt/nas nfs defaults 0 0
  15. Please make sure to replace the username and password with the actual credentials.
