I upgraded a version 8 system to version 11 from scratch--e.g., I 
totally reinitialized the internal drive and laid down an entirely fresh 
install of 11. Then 12 came out about a week later, but I haven't yet 
upgraded to 12 because I have a show-stopper on 11 which I absolutely 
must solve before moving ahead, and it's the following:


For years I have had a Synology NAS that was automatically mounted and 
directories thereon bound during the boot process via the following 
lines at the end of /etc/fstab:


# NAS box:
//192.168.1.156/BigVol1 /mnt/bigvol1 cifs 
_netdev,username=<username>,password=<password>,ro 0 0

Then I had the following line, replicated for several directories on 
bigvol1, to bind them to directories on the home filesystem, all in a 
script called /root/remount that I executed manually after each reboot:


mount /mnt/bigvol1/dir-1 /home/steve/dir-1 -o bind,ro

I had directories set up on the home filesystem to accept these binds, 
like this:


mount /mnt/bigvol1/dir-1 /home/steve/dir-1 -o bind,ro


None of this works any more on Debian 11. After boot, /mnt/bigvol1 is 
empty, so there's no need to even try the remount script because there's 
nothing to which those directories can bind, so even if those mount 
commands are correct, I would never know until bigvol1 mounts correctly 
and content appears in at least 'ls -ld /mnt/bigvol1'.


Research into this problem made me try similar techniques after having 
installed nfs-utils. I got bogged down by a required procedure entailing 
exportation of NFS volume information in order to let nfs-utils know 
about the NFS drive, but before I commit to that, I thought I'd ask in 
here to make sure I'm not about to do anything horribly wrong.


So, summarily put, what's different about mounting a networked NFS drive 
from 8 to 11 and 12?


Thanks in advance.
