What is the best place to mount a permanent Windows share in Kubuntu?

  • So that it meets the standards.
  • Avoiding high usage of CPU and network if akonadi try to index it.
  • Showing better in file explorer like Dolphing.
  • ...
  • In short, make it more functional and useful

Thank you... And sorry for my rusty English usage

/mnt or /media are both fine. And it is also fine to create your own directory in /. Like a /data/ or /windowsshare/.

Some things:

  • when you do and add it to /etc/fstab use a ~/.smbcredentials for storing user name and password. edit: a ~ will not work; use the whole directory.

  • a windows share might have a longer waiting time then the system expects. If so, use the "noauto" in /etc/fstab and mount it in /etc/rc.local.

Avoiding high usage of CPU and network if Akonadi try to index it.

and

Showing better in file explorer like Dolphin.

are not an issue. If they are then the mount point itself is not the reason for it.
