A FEW NOTES ON MOUNTING SYNOLOGY NAS' SHARED FOLDERS IN PURE2
In Synology NAS, with its Linux OS, among other things, one must
-create shared folders and
-users, while
-giving both the NAS in general and them (users) static local IP addresses, then
-allow them into the NAS' shared folder, in various ways/places.
Have a look, I got into my Synology NAS via my net laptop/internet browser > input Username/Password > Control Panel and then one starts creating shared folders, users, allowing users into various folders (or not), then editing permissions and various parameters, network characteristics...... There's tons of ways of controlling your NAS - here are some of the steps:
In one's (Windows or otherwise) PC one must allow the NAS in - in the firewall.
If one installs Synology Assistant Windows app one can get into the NAS via Windows Explorer, too (not just via your internet browser), as it installs drivers for Windows to be able to browse a Linux run machine.
Synology NAS
Initially, one has to be careful to set it all up precisely, then it's a matter of giving the E2-run machine the same static address, each time one reinstalls Enigma2...
One must also create a user (say, ZgemmaH7 or Edision+) with the correct (static/manual) local network address and give the user all the privileges. You have both special privileges and Linux privileges.
In that case, when Enigma2 scans the local network for shared folders - one can mount NFS shared folders from there, as it is much easier. I do not do it manually, although for Windows shared folders (CIFS) I must do it manually (see below)...
MENU > Setup > System > Network > Device setup > choose LAN (eth0) or WLAN (wlan0) >
Adapter settings > Use DHCP = NO, then give it a static address
Nameserver settings > use
1.1.1.1
1.0.0.1
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4 (as described by me elsewhere...)
Network Browser/Mount Manager > Network Browser (wait for it 'till it scans your local/home network...)
P.S. In NFS/Linux (or Windows/CIFS) - if you set it up properly, as described - there is no need for adding your NAS (or WIndows) username and password, when E2 prompts you to do that.
This is what it looks like when one tries to mount Windows/CIFS shared folder:
