FWIW, I have a Windows 10 VM that I've resurrected.  I shared a folder and used 
the same
format entry in the fstab.

It mounts just fine on reboot.   Having a bit of trouble figuring on the 
Windows side
allowing writing but that is due to my limited knowledge of MS products and 
terminology.  :-)

To be honest I don't know what operating is on the NAS device, and I can't see any information in the web interface to tell me, but having said that I haven't really tried to find out either. I'm assuming its linux, but I can't be sure.

The device seems to show itself as a Windows accessible device by default (which under Linux I'm using CIFS to mount it) and also provides an NFS server interface that can be activated if desired (which I have done and I mount it via NFS under Linux as well). In my fstab entry for the CIFS mount I've added a systemd parameter to serialise the CIFS mount behind the nfs mount, as some time ago I had issues where the NAS controller couldn't handle systemd trying to do the automounting of the NFS and CIFS mount points at the same time. Both mount points are the same physical storage, as I can write data to the device under linux via the CIFS mount point or under Windows 10 and the NFS mount point under Linux can see the data, but the same doesn't always apply the other way around. I have a situation where I wrote a .apk file to the device from linux via the NFS mount point and that file is not visible on the device from Windows 10 nor from the CIFS mount point under Linux, but as expected it continues to be visible via the Linux NFS mount point.

With the NFS mount process failing at boot time because of the Networkmanager Wait Online process timing out, the CIFS serialisation cause that mount to fail at boot as well, consequently I've added the x-systemd.automount parameter to both mount definitions in fstab. Having done this issue the command "ls /mnt/nfs" mounts the nfs interface as expected, but I can't get the same functionality to mount the CIFS mount point, which I thought might have something to do with CIFS only being mountable by root and not by an ordinary user.

Steve
