Fstab bind network shared folder: mount error(6): No such device or address

Question

trying to bind a shared folder located on my NAS in fstab using

//192.168.178.150/array1    /home/myUser/test cifs username=myUser,passwd=**** 0 0

I get the following error

Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I dont know what to make of this. Accessing the folder manually using the file manager is no problem and I would not even need to give my credentials.

Solution

After trying smbclient -L //192.168.178.150 I found that the path was not correct. On the NAS its true that all shared folders are contained by some directory array1 but the smb shared names are the subfolders directly. Therefore

//192.168.178.150/subfolder    /home/myUser/test cifs username=myUser,passwd=**** 0 0

did the job.

Can you connect to the CIFS share using a regular CIFS client (e. g. Nautilus) or with a manual invocation of mount?

I can connect using the file manager. However mounting the drive manually using sudo mount //192.168.178.150/ /home/myUser/test results in the same error I posted above. However now it requests a password.
