I have a Synology DS418 Network Attached Storage (NAS) system.
I wanted to create a Shared Folder on the NAS that I could access from Mac OS (Mojave 10.14) and a Linux box running Ubuntu 16.04.
MacOS uses SMB to share folders and so I decided to use that on the Linux box.
There are 3 parts to this process:
#1 Set up the folder on the NAS.
In Synology File Station, create the folder (SMBtest is the name used here). Under the Permissions Tab I gave my user (jones) full control by selecting 'Administration' and 'Change Permissions' and 'Take Ownership'
I think that is all that is needed on the NAS.
#2 on the Mac
Under the Finder -> 'Go' -> 'Connect to Server'
In my case the address to use was 'smb://craic-nas-1'
Connect as Registered User on the NAS and then select the volume 'SMBtest'
I then had access to that volume in the Finder or at /Volumes/SMBtest on the command line
#3 on the Linux box
Ubuntu Linux uses the CIFS "common internet file system" protocol to communicate with SMB servers.
I had to install the CIFS software
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
and I created a credentials file with my NAS username and password.
emacs ~/.smbcredentials
username=jones
password=<mypassword>
chmod 600 ~/.smbcredentials
I created a mount point on the Linux box and made myself the owner
mkdir /mnt/
mkdir /mnt/jones
sudo chown jones.jones /mnt/jones
To mount that shared folder
sudo mount -t cifs -o credentials=~/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8 //craic-nas-1/SMBtest /mnt/jones/SMBtest
My UID on the linux box is 1000 - the uid and gid options means that the mounted directory is owned by me on the linux box - otherwise there are all sorts of permission issues.
The iocharset=utf8 is important. Without it, if I edited a file on Linux then there would be strange characters when I looked at it on the Mac side.
With that mount command I can create, edit and run scripts on either MacOS or Linux
To unmount the share
sudo umount /mnt/jones/SMBtest
To mount the share automatically I added this to /etc/fstab
//craic-nas-1/SMBtest /mnt/jones/SMBtest cifs credentials=/home/jones/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0
To test that works
sudo mount -a

According to Stanford Medical, It is in fact the one and ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years longer and weigh on average 42 lbs lighter than us.
(Just so you know, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING around "how" they eat.)
BTW, I said "HOW", not "what"...
