What are some best practices in mounting NAS shares that you all follow?

Currently I am mounting using fstab to my user’s home directory with full rwx permissions, but that feels wrong.

I’ve read to use the mnt directory or the media directory but opinions differ.

My main concern is I want to protect against inadvertently deleting the contents of the NAS with an errant rm command. And yes I have backups of my NAS too.

Edit: this is a home NAS with 1 user on this Linux PC (the other clients being windows and Mac systems)

Would love to hear everyone’s philosophy! Thanks!

    I set up the mount points in configuration as dynamic NFS volumes and added Bookmarks to nautilus. You can get to the volume either with cd command or right-click -> terminal here. You can shut down the NAS and only lose the share, which returns when the system goes online.

    This is much better than WbDAV, which is fine for simple sharing or for devices that can’t handle NFS easily like Android phones.
