Editing Accessing Photos and Pictures on Synology Diskstation NAS (section)

===== Create scripts to manage mounted directories =====

* Add a script to re-mount the directories after reboot. <ref>[https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=116174 rc.local auto mount not works [after DSM 6 update], Synology forums</ref>
** Create the script to run.
*** Store the script somewhere accessible to Task Scheduler, e.g. `\volume1\public\tasks`
*** See sample below.
** '''DSM''' > '''Control Panel''' > '''System''' > '''Task Scheduler''' > '''Create''' button > '''Triggered Task'''
*** Give it a name
*** '''User:''' root
*** '''Event:''' boot-up
*** '''Task Settings''' tab > '''User-defined script:''' ''Enter the path to the script defined above''
* (Optional) add script to unmount the external directories on a Shutdown event.
** e.g. `unmount /volume1/photo/my\ photos`

The above steps have been verified up to the point of mounting the external folders and re-indexing. It has not been verified that image files in the external folders appear in Photo Station.

If all the albums appear, the next step would be mounting the remote folders again to see if then DSM would successfully index the images in the external folders.
