 +* Hmm, this guy easily replaces the RAM on a TS-231P**2**: [[yt>kQTGJ-j9ZCA]]\\

 +Every now and then it changes things and I have to rewrite my [[fstab]] entry. 
 + 
 +The most recent change is that you have to specify the version, so add ''vers=3.0'' 
 + 
 +''nobrl'' is handy for a directory you're using with [[calibre]] iirc., but I don't use it for everything for...some reason. 
 + 
 +On my main computer ([[arch_linux]]) I use these options: 
 + 
 +<code>defaults,uid=[],forceuid,cred=[],vers=3.0,sec=ntlmv2</code>

 +On [[acer_extensa_5210|my busted old laptop]] I use for [[Kodi]]:

 The documentation for third-party packages is near universally garbage. Rarely do links to things like tutorials point to anywhere relevant to using on  a QNAP, and often they point to pages that don't even exist! Seems like it's only a few people adding the majority of them, and most seem to have been quickly added, then abandoned. Everything's out-of-date. Still, it's useful! The documentation for third-party packages is near universally garbage.
