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

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.

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.
