Linux how do i access nas/samba

[edogg]

still the same result as when i called the share RASPBERRYPI
mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=smbaccess //?.?.?.?/public /mnt/share

mount error: can not change directory into mount target /mnt/share
mount: mounting //192.168.*.**/public on /mnt/share failed No such file or directory

I tried changing smbaccess to the username and password i set when i setup smbaccess but with the same result

It's basically saying no such location exists - where did the 192.168.*.** come from? What's the actual IP of the Raspberry?

I missed a post Ip is 192.168.0.10 samba user = smbaccess password =firman I want to be able to play media files from the RPi so the duo should be able to see the files when i goto the file view and select the location with the yellow button which lists all the mount points

I tried calling the local share name on the vuduo public but that put it into a reboot cycle because it could not find it
i have
mount fstab
acitve enable
localshare name RASPBERRYPI
mount type CIFS share
server ip 192.168.0.10
server share mnt/share/tv [tv is the folder that sab stores the files on]
hdd no
Mount options rw,utf8
username smbaccess
password
firman

as soon as i get this working i will change my password

on the duo in location /mnt/net there is a folder called RASPBERRYPI but it is empty it is also in /media/net

 

[Him Her]

So the mount command you typed on the Duo would have been:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /mnt/share

 

[edogg]

the reply is can't find //192.168.0.10/public/mnt/share in /etc/fstab

rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
//192.168.0.10/mnt/share/tv /media/net/RASPBERRYPI cifs username=smbaccess,password=firman,_netdev,rw,iocharset=utf8 0 0

this is the the duo's fstab

 

[Him Her]

Can you post fstab contents?

 

[edogg]

i edited my last post to include the fstab

 

[edogg]

I just tried editing the fstab to this
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
tmpfs /var/volatile tmpfs defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
//192.168.0.10/mnt/share/tv /RASPBERRYPI cifs username=smbaccess,password=firman,_netdev,rw

but still not able to access the share on the duo

 

[Him Her]

Okay, forget fstab for now, we need to get the basic mount process working first. Reboots will possibly cause confusion!

Just type this command at the Duo telnet session:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /mnt/share

 

[edogg]

still the same error
mount error: cannot change directory into mount target /mnt/share
mount: mounting //192.168.0.10/pubic on /mnt/share failed: No such file or directory

 

[edogg]

in case i made a typo i left the space out between public/mnt/share and it says cannot find public/mnt/share in fstab

 

[Him Her]

Check the command spelling carefully and that the directory /mnt/share exists on the Duo

The command should be:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /mnt/share

(space between public and /mnt/share) then try:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /mnt

(space between public and /mnt)

I have lost the mount on the duos internal hdd after doing the second command but i can now see the raspberry usb drive but only that folder and files

 

[Him Her]

Reboot the Duo and remove the fstab entry for cifs - summat odd happening here.

Create a new directory on the Duo at root level called raspberry then run this:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /raspberry

and now the duo is on a reboot loop

 

[Him Her]

and now the duo is on a reboot loop

You may have to power-cycle it...

 

[edogg]

I am reflashing the duo that last command wiped out all the mounts i.e the internal hdd and the usb for the picons and epg data but i could use the raspberry files

 

[edogg]

ok i got the hdd and usb back

Create a new directory on the Duo at root level called raspberry then run this:

mount -t cifs -o username=smbaccess,password=firman //192.168.0.10/public /raspberry

the same result except now it says failed on raspberry no such file or directory
