Setting up a Buffalo LS210D NAS

[Steve Grim]

Hey Jay.

The entry I put up there was for in the fstab file. Then every startup, it
mounts it automatically. For a standalone mount statement, I think the
format is different.

I think you may want to use "sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.23/share
/big_archive/polar"
and I think there is an option to select the remote user account, but I'm
not sure what that is. It may prompt for the remote account.

Give that a try and see if that works for you.
