Elementery Hera auto mount nfs don't work

Question

I try to auto mount NFS shares over my local network. I add to /etc/fstab:

192.168.0.24:/mnt/Toshiba/dietpi_userdata /mnt/nas nfs defaults 0 0

I see service on start:

mnt-nfs.mount

but Elementary don't mount that shares after reboot.I have to do it manually:

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.0.24:/mnt/Toshiba/dietpi_userdata/ /mnt/nas

I disabled my firewall. I have the same config in second laptop with Ubuntu 19.10 and it works fine. Regards Przemek

Did you type sudo mount -a and then sudo mount after you changed in /etc/fstab ?

Hi @Sysadmin, I add /etc/fstab etry and then I make: sudo mount /mnt/nas/ and sudo mount 192.168.0.24:/mnt/Toshiba/dietpi_userdata then reboot. I make the same steps in second laptop with Ubuntu and it works.

All you have to do is to make changes in /etc/fstab. You do not have to mount it manually sudo mount -a in terminal is adding everything from /etc/fstab automatically. Mount command should show those resources as mounted. Check this link: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/303846/…

Hi, I mount with sudo mount -a but this still don't work after reboot. Do I have to add sudo mount -a to /etc/fstab?

No. The entry in /etc/fstab should look exactly the way you mentioned. 192.168.0.24:/mnt/Toshiba/dietpi_userdata /mnt/nas nfs defaults 0 0 Eventually use the hostname instead of IP address. The last option is to do this way like it is described here: linuxtechi.com/automount-nfs-share-in-linux-using-autofs
