(1) "only root can do that ..."
-- um, yes, generally, only 'root' is allowed to perform
mount(8) commands
-- so, you need to become 'root'
(a) login to the console as 'root', -OR-
(b) execute the command "su -" and enter root p/w
when prompted, -OR-
(c) prefix everything with "sudo" (as you've done in
earlier messages to this forum
(2) "the extra '/' ..."
-- you're right, it shouldn't be there ...
(3) Try this command (as 'root'!) to see what the NAS is making
available to mount with the NFS protocol:
showmount -e 192.168.0.101
(4) In it's most simple form, the mount(8) command is parsed as
mount <device_specification> <mountpoint>
"mount" --> the command
"<device_specification>" --> When mounting a partition
from a local disks the argument will look something
like "/dev/sda1"/. When mounting an NFS filesystem,
it will look like "server:/path".
In your case, "server" is '192.168.0.101' and the
"path" is 'Synology'.
"<mountpoint>" --> "/media/jjj/Synology".
So, putting it all together ...
mount 192.168.0.101:/Synology /media/jjj/Synology
Now -- I see two possible problems ...
(1) The 'path' on the NAS might not by "/Synology".
This is why I suggest you do the "showmount -e 192.168.0.101".
It should tell you what path(s) are being exported.
(2) About your local mount point ...
With all the GUI and hand-holding crap that goes on with
these modern distros (what in the heck is a 'Thunar' anyway?)
some areas of the filesystem fall under 'special' management
[cue Dana Carvey Church Lady voice when you say 'special'].
"/media" is probably one of those areas ...
I'd suggest:
mkdir /synology
/ ... makes a new mount //point/
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.101:/Synology /synology
/ ... mounts NAS filesystem onto /synology (assuming
we've got the correct name for the path begin
exported -- see the "showmount -e 192.168.0.101"
results.
/
df -t nfs
/ ... displays "disk-free" on all mounted filesystems
of type (-t) "nfs"/
