SOLVED: Mount several NAS folders

[Infectftw]

Hi guys,

my hardware:
Homeserver: HP Elitedesk 800 G5 Mini with Proxmox
NAS: Synology DS418 with 2 HDDs (one for movies and one for series)

I installed Jellyfin with the official bash script in a proxmox container.
I created a folder jellyfin with mkdir
I installed cifs-utils
I edited the /etc/fstab file with my mounts:
//192.168.178.3/ds418-filme /jellyfin cifs credentials=/home/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
//192.168.178.3/ds418-media /jellyfin cifs credentials=/home/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Unfortunately it only works for one of the mounts.
When the movie mount is working, than the series (418-media) does not work and vice versa.

I think the problem is, that both folders are mounted in the same /jellyfin folder.
Could this be?

Can you help me to fix the two mount commands?
I assume the easiest way would be to have both folders (movies and media) on one HDD, but the HDDs are too small, so this is not a solution for me.

Thanks!

Your fstab is mounting both drives to /jellyfin so you have one mounted on top of the other. You need to provide separate mount points in your fstab. e.g.

Code:

//192.168.178.3/ds418-filme /jellyfin/Movies cifs credentials=/home/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

//192.168.178.3/ds418-media /jellyfin/Shows cifs credentials=/home/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Thanks for your reply, this is what I thought.

I edited the fstab like you suggested.
Additionally I created two folders (movies/shows) in the jellyfin folder and tried to mount them.
Unfortunetaly I got an error message:

Code:

root@Jellyfin:/jellyfin# mkdir /movies
mkdir: cannot create directory '/movies': File exists
root@Jellyfin:/jellyfin# mkdir /shows
root@Jellyfin:/jellyfin# cd /shows/
root@Jellyfin:/shows# cd
root@Jellyfin:~# ls
root@Jellyfin:~# cd /shows/
root@Jellyfin:/shows# ls
root@Jellyfin:/shows# mount -a
Couldn't chdir to /jellyfin/movies: No such file or directory
Couldn't chdir to /jellyfin/shows: No such file or directory

Do you have any ideas what exactly the problem is?

"/" indicates the "root" of your filesystem, so

Code:

mkdir /movies

is creating folders at the very root of your filesystem, not within any other folder.

Also, I notice from your prompt you are running as ROOT user! I would highly recommend creating a regular user and giving that user admin privileges. You risk breaking your system very easily running as root

Edit:

If you are in the directory in which you want to create another directory, just remove the leading slash, e.g.

Code:

 mkdir Movies

mkdir /movies

great, thanks, that was the solution 

also thank you for the hint with the root user, I will change it.

No problem. Glad I could help
