i tried that, and it worked. however, the line is so long that i had to copy it in pieces. here it is:

i just checked, it does show up in mtab. i can't post the line here because i don't know how to copy something out of nano.

if it is already mounted, shouldn't it show up somewhere? as far as i can tell, my NAS supports NFS 2, 3, 4 and 4.1. i'll try that.

doing that gives me the following output:


mount.nfs: timeout set for Fri Jan 12 11:05:32 2024
mount.nfs: trying text-based options 'vers=4.2,addr=192.168.1.8,clientaddr=192.168.1.64'...

hm, for some reason that wasn't necessary, because /data already appeared in /mnt. weird. is there another place where the NAS folder should be mounted? me, i don't really care where it is mounted...

I remember editing some config files with ip addresses, bug I don't remember which files. There was something about networkmanager and netplan, but those files don't have any ip info. I have to say...

I tried the settings app, of course, and I tried editing config files. But I can't find anything that says gateway 0.0.0.0
If you need the names of those config files, I'd have to check.

anyway, ls /sys/class/net gives me the following output:

ifconfig lists 2 interfaces: eth0: at 192.168.1.6 and lo: at 127.0.0.1
wifi is not configured.

i tried to put that into the config file, of course adjusting the info according to my system, and when i said:

it gave me this output:
