curl -O 'http://tel.mirrors.163.com/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/yum-3.4.3-168.el7.centos.noarch.rpm'

Install and settle Samba/NFS remote mounting

    1. Install all of the filesystem support through yum
  •   yum install cifs-utils nfs-utils
    
  1. TODO [NFS] mounting.
# Create the mount point.
mkdir /mount_path

# Mount
mount -t nfs host:/path /mount_path
  1. TODO [Samba] mounting.
mkdir /mount_path

mount -t cifs -o username=SYNOLOGY_USER_NAME,uid=SYNOLOGY_USER_NAME,gid=SYNOLOGY_USER_NAME \
//host/path /mount_path

  1. mount.cifs: bad UNC using mount -t cifs //host instead of mount -t cifs /host/

  2. mount.nfs: mount(2): No such device Your kernel doesn't support, cede please.

  3. mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system Your kernel doesn't support, cede please.
