Hello,
I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon.
I'm using a NAS and usb keys, they are mounted automatically and I can see them in Nemo. Great. BUT :
This auto mount is not visible in the file system. I only can see it in Nemo, but Wine and the majority of all applications I'm installing can't see it.
I tried a workaround using the usual mount command. I added the following line in /etc/fstab :
//192.168.0.9/MyShare /NAS/Share cifs iocharset=utf8,username="User",password="Pass",rw,nounix,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=stpan,gid=stpan 0 0
When I type
sudo mount -a
I get : mount error(13): Permission denied
Of course, the username and password are correct. I'm doing the same thing from my raspberry and it works ...
I can't reasonably imagine that I am the first guy in the world trying to use some external files with apps in Linux Mint.
Does anyone have a solution ?
Thank you for the help ...
NB
Auto mounted devs invisible from Wine and lots of other apps

I read through your post a couple of times and I guess I'm confused.
Is the "NAS and usb keys" attached to your Mint system directly or are these network devices?
The cifs entry in fstab would be for a network asset.

The NAS is on the local network (as seen in fstab : //192.168.0.9).
The USB key is local to this computer, but it appears identically as a temporary storage.
USB isn't so important to me (I guess I can find it in /media/something, but this is useless, as I never work directly on a usb drive).
But NAS is, as I use it to store Gigabytes, and as my computer runs on a small SSD disk, with little free space.

- + The main question could be : What is the path to my network files in Linux Mint ? (ie a path looking like /thing/something). And how can I set it once for all ?
- + Other way to ask the same question : How can I (permanently) mount my network drives in Linux Mint (of course, I already tried /etc/fstab (result explained in previous post) and manual mount).
- + Why do I need a permanent path to my network files ? Because most Linux applications, including Wine, need it. Otherwise, they can't see them.

/run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share=server-name,share=share-nameWhat is the path to my network files in Linux Mint ?
The "1000" is your uid number so it may be different for you than it is for me.
If you make a bookmark to the /run/user/1000/gvfs folder in your file manager it will show up in most applications. Have no idea about wine.
You could use gigolo to have it automount but it will place the mount point in the same place.Other way to ask the same question : How can I (permanently) mount my network drives in Linux Mint
The problem with the cifs mount may be that age of the samba server ( or similar software ) on the NAS itself. You can sometimes get the mount to work by specifying an earlier security protocol - ntlm:of course, I already tried /etc/fstab (result explained in previous post) and manual mount
