John, You need to mount it so the kernel sees it. As suggested by others, create an entry for it in /etc/fstab and use the mount command. All done as root, of course. On my server I have a USB-connected external hard drive used for backups. In /etc/fstab is this entry: UUID=da596a77-2fb4-41ed-881c-a3f8bb0ab437 /media/hd0 auto defaults 0 0 You'll need to find the UUID for your NAS hard drive. And, you might want to add users after auto and a comma. I run backups from a script which is invoked daily at 00:30 from crontab. You'll probably want to put the mount command for your Synology system in the equivalent of Slackware's /etc/rc.d/rc.local which runs commands when the system boots; I've no idea how the ubuntus do this.
