How can I add entry in fstab for Lacie Network Space 2?

[Archdevil]

I want to add an entry in fstab for using the Lacie Network Space 2.

I would like to be able to use the public part (openshare) and the private part (username & password required) straight away after I boot up my system.
I have found many suggestions with google, but many require an additional "mount -a" or are just read-only and I just want it to work right away and have full access. It would be nice if every user on my system would have access to these partitions.

Can anyone tell me (from experience perhaps) how to get this to work?

Thanks!

Archie.

I have no idea what a    "Lacie Network Place 2"   might be and you did not explain.

If it is connected to your PC then have you tried going into PCLOS Control Center - Local Disks - Manage disk Partitions .......  and there set up the mount point for the partitions you wish to be mounted?

Of course no knowing what you are dealing with I could be way off-base .......

Hi JohnBoy,

I saw I made a type (and corrected it).
It is the Lacie Network Space 2. It is a NAS, an external, network attached hard drive.
I tried adding it using the control center, but unfortunately I could only write as root, even if I selected the option to give everyone access.
I hope someone can help me.

So is it connected to the network or connected to the PC using a USB cable?
If on the network .....
I guess there is a NAS server in the device? I would think that it should be connected to using NFS (if supported) or SAMBA or such?

It has a NAS server.
It should be possible to mount it with a fstab-entry like this:

//192.168.8.199/openshare/muziek  /media/muziek  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0

Have you tried the above?
Is that the correct IP address for the device?

It would be unusual for PCLOS to have a UUID of 1,000 ......  ours usually start at 500.
Make sure you have the CIFS package installed via Synaptic.
You could then look to adding codes to the line to see if it will automount and allow read & write permissions .........   auto, rw    for instance.
It seems the above is limiting access to Guest with a UID of 1,000

......  but I am not familiar with this so may be incorrect ....

JohnBoy,

You have the same problem as I have 

I do not know the right settings. I get it to sort of work, but not exactly the way I need it to.
cifs seems to be installed, because it kinda worked. I figured adding the uid might prevent future other users from having access, but hey, I am no expert.

I hope some fstab-expert can help me!

Did you check the manual on the device ......  I read a little and it seems that there is one ONLY publically available share, and it cannot be increased.
Other than that users can have their own directory .........  or something to that effect.

Just wondering if it is in the device that you are meeting the blockage .....
