Hi I'm new to the forum.
I use linux in various distros for some years now as a main OS. Now I have OpenSuse Leap running with KDE.
I played around with a Raspi as NAS but switched to Synology for ease of use and better performance.
That is I'm able to mount network folders with SAMBA and NFS.
I ran into a few issues (folders mounted via fstab):
1. If a folder is mounted and the drive is unavailable, Dolphin (and other things) get stuck until I force an unmount
2. I a folder is mounted and I want do power off or reboot, I get "a stop job is running..." for the mounted folders
Both is annoying and I don't know how to overcome the issues. I read various instructions and how to's on how to mount a network folder but I did not find any solution to these issues. Maybe I did not understand all the different options correctly and that is one question I want to ask here.
In KDE Dolphin can open remote folders without the need to mount them (KIO-Slave). While this might be a solution to browse through files, there are limitations because not all applications are supported.
The questions are:
What is the best way to mount a network folder for me?
How can I work around the freezing issue when a folder is unavailabe (without the need to manually unmount the folder)?
How can I skip the stop job if a machine with mounted network folders is powered down?
Regards
