I have two computers running Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 respectively and both are connected via TCP/IP. Right now I am accessing one another via SSH most of the time but I want to permanently mount a certain partition of one computer into the filesystem of the other for convenience.

I tried to facilitate this with an entry in the fstab like this

//IP/home/User /media/myfolder cifs auto,uid=1000,vers=1.0,gid=1000, user=username, pass=XXX 0 0

but that doesn't seem to work. What is the correct way of doing this?

  • Make sure to try this askubuntu.com/a/771661/459561 answer so it won't hang at boot if the mount points aren't available.

  • its not, since the partition I want to mount is not a NFS but a regular partition on a machine running Ubuntu 16.04

  • my question is: do I have to make some extra effort in order to prepare the host to be able to share one of is partitions with a client or is a plane ubuntu install enough?

    For Ubuntu nfs is recommended and I just mount one partition on another machine with nfs: 192.168.0.123:/opt on /mnt/storage
