Hello,

I’ve just started to return to linux as my main work environment after a few years of abstinence.

I want to access an smb share, which is running on my NAS system, which is working fine with plasma / KDE apps, but with GTK-based apps, like Firefox and Code, I can’t see my share.

Edit: the mount issue has been solved, the error was in front of the screen.

mount -t nfs nas:/sharedFolder /mnt/entrypoint creates a symlink but then never finishes running. I’ve installed gvfs-smb.

What am I doing wrong?

I use Manjaro Plasma btw.

    You’re mixing protocols on your share and access.

    You mount with NFS then try to access with gvfs-smb, What you actually need is gvfs-nfs.

    I use Arch xfce/awesomewm btw.

      Using gvfs-nfs returns unknown file system type.

      I’ve run mount -v yadda yadda and got portmap query failed: RPC: Unable to receive - Connection refused

        So you need to work out what you actually want to access and use the correct protocol/command combo.

        You mentioned in your post 2 protocols SMB and NFS.

        If the share is SMB/windows then use mount -t cifs … (make life easier and ensure guest access is correct and working)

        If the share is NFS then use mount -t nfs … (beware that nfs is also version specific)

        Additionally use the correct gvfs tools either gvfs-smb or gvfs-nfs.

        And as always when using arch based distro’s refer to wiki for full setup guides/examples
