Never mind on this. After I got the mount command to work and started playing with the Plex Media Server, I determined that Plex does not play well with the ARM architecture on my old Minix box, and does not want to stream a large percentage of the video formats in my library. Rather than covert my entire library, I am going to plan "B" and find another home for Plex Media Server.

After searching around and playing with it, I was able to get this to work:
# mount -t cifs -o username=plex,password=plex,rw //192.168.1.40/video /storage/media/video
However, when I try to use this in systemd, I am getting a dependency error:
# nano /storage/.config/system.d/storage-media-video.mount
[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=//192.168.1.40/video

.
Dec 18 22:54:57 Media-Player systemd[1]: storage-media-video.mount: Job storage-

I think I am close. Please let me know what I am missing.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am trying to mount a NAS drive to be used by Plex Media Server, but am having some difficulty. I can connect via NFS or SMB and am able to see/use the drive from Kodi. I have gone through the Libreelec wiki and attempted to mount via NFS and SMB, but am getting the same failure. Here is what I am doing:
# nano /storage/.config/system.d/storage-media.mount
[Unit]
Description=smb mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service
[Mount]
What=192.168.1.40
Where=/storage/media
Options=username=plex,password=plex,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# systemctl start storage-media.mount
Job for storage-media.mount failed.
See "systemctl status storage-media.mount" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
# systemctl status storage-media.mount

I get the same failure when doing the above for NFS. Maybe I am missing something simple?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
