Properly mounting a NAS so file pickers in programs don’t shit themselves or refuse to see it. There’s no GUI feature even in KDE for this task. Should not be like this modern day. Mounting anything properly is annoying here.
Oh man, looks like I have a bunch of googling ahead of me.
Basically I had to make a folder in mnt and then add this upcoming line manually. Fun fact! It doesn’t like spaces, thus 040POOL. Idk why but an underscore didn’t work either. I didn’t know this at first and wanted to slam my face into my keyboard by the time I got it working.
Confirm it works with terminal command:
sudo mount -a
Then reboot and see if it automounted:
mount | grep nas
“nas” is whatever you called the mnt subdirectory you created.
This is a very fucking stupid process vs right clicking a folder on my NAS in Windows and mapping a network drive so it gets a storage device letter. However, it’s fun to rant about.

etc/fstab is my hint.
