CLI command works OK but same entry in/etc/fstab fails. Can anyone offer any assistance?

Solution 1:

The filesystem type and options in /etc/fstab are identified by their field positions, rather than using switches like -o (or -t which you seem to have lost). So:

//192.168.1.70/Backup /media/NAS/storage cifs username=Gord,password=Tpocpmoc99,uid=gord,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755,vers=1.0,nounix
