Hi

I'm having a problem mounting the share which has my FLAC library.

Currently, my NAS is a USB drive shared from my DD-WRT router.
The share is a public share with no username or password 

\\DD-WRT\Media\New FLAC

This root share (DD-WRT\Media) is visible and accepts connections from many device in the house. Devices include Windows, Squeezebox (windows LMS server to be fair), nvidia shield, roku, firetv etc.......

Within the NAS sourc>Create NAS source
Scan results in the share being visible 

Type - SMB (Samba)
Server - DD-WRT/Media
User ID
Password
Name - FLAC

Various combinations of mount flags
vers=1.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
vers=2.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
vers=3.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777

All result in the error
20180927 084209 wrk_sourcemount(): Mount error: (username specified with no parameter)

I've tried appending the mount flags with which it doesnt like as it errors and lists the switch options
vers=X.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,user=,password=

20180927 084552 wrk_sourcemount(): Mount error: (
Usage:
mount [-lhV]
mount -a [options]
mount [options] [--source]
| [--target]

mount [options]  
mount   []

Mount a filesystem.

Options:
-a, --all               mount all filesystems mentioned in fstab
-c, --no-canonicalize   don't canonicalize paths
-f, --fake              dry run; skip the mount(2) syscall
-F, --fork              fork off for each device (use with -a)
-T, --fstab       alternative file to /etc/fstab
................................................................and so on



I've tried to adjust the share on DD-WRT by adding a second share which has a username and password then add the user and password to the Moode config
(share is picked up by scan)

Type - SMB (Samba)
Server - DD-WRT/FLAC
User ID - pi
Password - moodeaudio
Name - FLAC

Various combinations of mount flags
vers=1.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
vers=2.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777
vers=3.0,ro,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777

This gives me the error 

20180927 085511 wrk_sourcemount(): Mount error: (mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs))


So far as I can tell, the mount commands generated by the app specifically need a username and password.

My preference would be to mount this public share (public within my own private network) without any credentials.
Clearly I don't want to make changes that effect all of the other devices at home that access this NAS share on my router.

There seems to be quite a lot on various forums regarding problems with cifs mounts and this non descript error however I've not seen any definitive solution.

I realise this may be a configuration issue on either device but the fact that the share is visible everywhere else would suggest that in this case its a problem at the client end.

It cant be that difficult to mount a network share in linux can it????? lol

TIA

Hi Ian,

Try userid=Guest and a blank password. Leave the mount flags at the default setting i.e., vers=1.0 ...
Wow!!!

I could have sworn that I tried Guest and the default flags without success during as I searched for answers last night!!!

I can conform its now working as per your suggestion above.....

Thanks for your quick reply to both of my recent posts!
Maybe I'll add some additional (i) info text to the screen :-)
Definitely cant hurt Smile
