What are some best practices in mounting NAS shares that you all follow?

Currently I am mounting using fstab to my user’s home directory with full rwx permissions, but that feels wrong.

I’ve read to use the mnt directory or the media directory but opinions differ.

My main concern is I want to protect against inadvertently deleting the contents of the NAS with an errant rm command. And yes I have backups of my NAS too.

Edit: this is a home NAS with 1 user on this Linux PC (the other clients being windows and Mac systems)

Would love to hear everyone’s philosophy! Thanks!

    idmapping

    idmap only works with Kerberos auth, but iirc I didn’t have to set anything up specifically for it. Though I’ve also never really had to test it since my UIDs match coincidentally, I just tested with the nfsidmap command.
