I did the follow to can mount a external folder in my Qnap:

1.- Connect by ssh as admin.

2.- Create a new folder into the QNAP HD, in my case it is this:
/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Dlinkv1
Dlinkv1 is the folder that I created.

3.- Modify the fstab file in /etc folder and add the line to mount the new remote folder. In my case I added the next line.
//192.168.1.11/Volume_1 /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/Dlinkv1 cifs username=Anonymous,password=,_netdev,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Now, when I reset my QNAP, it mount automatically the external folder.

I hope this can be helpful.

/etc/fstab is not a persistent location. Have you tried a restart yet? ;)

How to Mount remote folders from another NAS in QNAP

Is the shared Volume here can be used as Download default folder? I tried the sharing using File Station but it cannot be used as default folder for Download.

For me what helped was:

mount -t cifs -o user=username,pass=password //share/path /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/path

I realize this is an old post but has mapping a synology drive on a qnap become any easier?

I Run plex on my Qnap and have my media backed up on a Synology.

But whenever i need to do a check disk.
Which is too bloody often as I am having frequent black outs (and an occasional earth quake) and UPS issues.

The qnap takes many many hours (24+) to do its thing and must be unmounted. This of course means no access to my media.

I was hoping I could map my media drive from the synology so Plex on the qnap sees the media from the Syno !
Qnap TS-1277 1700 (48gb RAM) 8x10TB WD White,- Raid5, 2x M.2 Crucial 1TB (Raid 1 VM),
2x SSD 860 EVO 500gb (Raid1 QTS), 2x SSD 860 EVO 250GB (Cache), 2x M.2 PCIe 970 500gb NVME (Raid1 Plex and Emby server)
GTX 1050 TI
Qnap TVS-1282 i7 (32GB RAM) 6x8TB WD White - JBOD, 2x M.2 Crucial 500gb (Raid1 VM),
2x SSD EVO 500gb (Raid1 QTS), 2x SSD EVO 250gb (Raid1 Cache), 2x M.2 PCIe Intel 512GB NVME (Raid1-Servers)
Synology -1817+ - DOA
Drobo 5n - 5x4TB Seagate, - Drobo Raid = 15TB
ProBox 8 Bay USB3 - 49TB mixed drives - JBOD
All software is updated asap.
I give my opinion from my experience i.e. I have (or had) that piece of equipment/software and used it! :roll:

why no ups? just a couple of bucks and no more volume checking or dataloss due to power cuts

did you try mounting the syno in file station and see if that mount is available in plex?

Easy enough to connect to Syno.

Have you stopped getting angry?
