I want to Map a network drive under the Media folder.
can anyone help me with this on OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
There are more than one way to do this but I prefer systemd method;
Create a file called /etc/systemd/system/media.myfolder.mount
[Unit]
Description=Cool description of my mounted share
[Mount]
What=//IP.OR.HOSTNAME.OF.SHARE/SHARENAME
Where=/media/myfolder
Options=user=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD,gid=USERS,uid=MYLINUXUSERNAME,vers=3.0,_netdev,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775
Type=cifs
TimeoutSec=15
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
To explain things;
Once you have adjusted everything, you can simply issue; systemctl daemon-reload followed by **systemctl start your.cool.mount
**An even neater trick is that systemd can automount the folder when you enter it, if you create a filed in /etc/systemd/system/media.myfolder.automount with the contents:
[Unit]
Description=Some cool description
[Automount]
Where=/media/myfolder
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This may sound very complex but once you get the hang of it, it becomes incredibly useful.
Thank you for the reply.
I am more of a copy paste linux user.
Your first instruction was to create a file
How do I go about it ?
sudo gedit /etc…
sudo zypper gedit /etc…
Thanks

The following steps, I was able to do in a superuser terminal:
I created a Folder in Media
sudo mkdir /Media/HPS
```html
and ran the following
```html
gedit /etc/systemd/system/media.HPS.automount
And I added the following in the file and saved:
[Unit]
Description=HerculeServer
[Mount]
What=smb://192.168.1.104/HPS
Where=/Media/HPS
Options=user=admin,password=xxxx,gid=USERS,uid=abc,vers=3.0,_netdev,file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775
Type=cifs
TimeoutSec=15
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And I ran the following
systemctl daemon-reload
and
systemctl start media.HPS.mount
And I have restarted.
What am I doing wrong.
If these are the exact names you have used probably
systemctl start media.HPS.**auto**mount
is more suitable.
