Synology Photo Folder Mounting on Raspberry Pi Issue

[blusecondsun92]

I was hoping to get some help on an issue I am having with mounting a folder from my NAS (a DS1621+ running DSM 7.2.2) on a Raspberry Pi running the Raspberry Pi OS.

On the RP I have set up the fstab file to include the following:

//192.168.1.###/music /mnt/[NASname]/music cifs credentials=/home/[username]/.smbcredentials,uid=username 0 0
//192.168.1.###/video /mnt/[NASname]/video cifs credentials=/home/[username]/.smbcredentials,uid=username 0 0
//192.168.1.###/photo /mnt/[NSAname]/photo cifs credentials=/home/[username]/.smbcredentials,uid=username 0 0

I have the .smbcredentials file set up with the correct logins for the NAS user (a generic media user I have set up with permissions to read/write these three folders).

I can get into both the video and music folders fine and see and access their contents. However for the photo folder, I can only see the contents of the top level photo folder itself (and this was only after fiddling with the settings on the Synology NAS). I can't see any of the photos inside the subfolders - and this is problematic as I have each subfolder organised as an album.

I suspect the problem is something to do with the settings for the photo folder, but the only difference I can see between the settings for the this folder and e.g. the music folder is that for the photo folder, there is no option to change any of the "Advanced Share Permissions".

Any suggestions on what I need to do to the NAS settings to get this to work (or any alternative approaches or workarounds) would be greatly appreciated!

Could be something like this: Permissions in shared space / synology photos

or,
Try to reset to default permissions using right click in synology file station the folder permission and reset using "apply to this folder, sub folders and files"

I didn't know this was possible so I went looking but couldn't find the reset (could be me of course)
Would you like to give a print screen?

I'm aware of that but, i don't see the option reset to default permissions.

I probably used the wrong terminology. It will reset file ownership to the chosen user.
Permissions are best handled via the standard shared folder setting.

I think that did it - I converted the folder to Windows ACL, then changed the permissions for that user to read/write for that folder, and now it seems to work.

Thank you!
