Linux how do i access nas/samba
- Thread starter edogg
- Start date
sudo cd /etc/samba
sudo cp samba.conf samba.conf.bak
Should create a backup called samba.conf.bak in the /etc/samba directory. The cp command is copy. Check it's there by doing an ls (list).

Hi after all the work put in to this raspberry project something went wrong and my ip address got changed for the rpi and everything stopped working I spent days trying to get it working again and even the sd card got corrupted when i tried reformatting it to get rid of all the programs on it so now i only have sickbeard and sabnzbd on it but haven't yet tested them they seam to be shutting down on their own as I cannot access either sickbeard or sabnzbd after doing so to configure them

It's not obvious to me either - you could try using smbfs (may need to install it) - there's a bit more detail here SMB HOWTO: Accessing an SMB Share With Linux Machines

Try changing the workgroup on the PI to VIX - it shouldn't make a difference but SMB is a fickle thing!
I take it the KodakAIO is a printer?

yes it is a printer I am not using it with the raspberry but it is wirelessly connected to the same network. I have renamed the work group to VIX but there is no change the duo network scan sees the raspberrypi but it does not find any files
Leave it for a while M8, the Samba daemons should have reloaded by now but the browse list may not be complete then try repeating the smbclient -L command and post the output...

Can you post the smb.conf off each system?

this is the duo smb.conf[global]
load printers = no
guest account = root
log file = /tmp/smb.log
log level = 1
security = share
server string = Dreambox %h network services
workgroup = ViX
netbios name = %h
case sensitive=yes
preserve case=yes
short preserve case=yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
preferred master = no ;(These stop the machine being master browser, which means that it doesn't waste time there.)
oplocks = no
[Root]
comment = Everything - take care!
path = /
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
[Harddisk]
comment = The harddisk
path = /media/hdd
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
and the smb.conf file for RPi is the same one you posted in post #20 on page 2 of this thread

Have you checked the Samba users exist and the permissions on the files are correct?
If you do an 'ls -l' on the shared directory on the PI you should see some output like:
drwxr-xr-x 3 nana writers 80 2005-09-20 21:37 dir
-rw-r----- 1 nana writers 8187 2005-09-19 13:35 file
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nana writers 10348 2005-07-17 20:31 otherfile
The first block of rwx shows permissions for the owner (nana), the second block of rwx is for the group (writers) and the third block of rwx is for the World. Sorry is this is all well-known to you but the symptoms look like permissions or authentication.
What happens when you do a mount on the VUO? Example below:
mount -t cifs -o username=USERNAME,password=PASSWD //192.168.1.88/shares /mnt/share
Obviously, substitute the PI IP and share name plus your smb user and password.
drwxr-xr-x 3 nana writers 80 2005-09-20 21:37 dir
-rw-r----- 1 nana writers 8187 2005-09-19 13:35 file

this is from ls -l
pi@raspberrypi /mnt/share $ ls -l
total 4
drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Feb 8 12:19 tv
and this is from telnet to the vuduo
mount error: can not change directory into mount target /mnt/share
mount: mounting //192.168.*.**/RASPBERRYPI on /mnt/share failed: No such file or directory
sorry about the delay but I was watching wigan show the super league what you can do with a home grown team of youngsters

What's the Samba username and password, IP of the Raspberry, name of the share and location on the Duo you want it mounted to? I'll be out on a wee job for a couple of hours so no rush

Your mount command should be:
mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=smbaccess //?.?.?.?/public /mnt/share
Replace ?.?.?.? with the IP of the Raspberry. The share is named 'public' because the smb.conf on the PI has that in brackets like this - [public], that's the share name.
If you can post the output of that mount command when run on the Duo?
