Unable to connect to samba share

I assume you are configuring OpenMediaVault (OMV) through its Web-based interface. This automagically fills in the smb.conf values Tim is talking about.

In this interface, OMV offers three choices for a shared folder:

• Public - No
  requires username/password entry; these must be valid OMV credentials [NOTE: this is the mode I'm using]. This mode successfully mounts for me in moOde.
  
• Public - Guests allowed
  requires username/password entry OR username Guest. This mode successfully mounts for me in moOde as username Guest with no password. (It also mounted when I tried username Guest with password Guest.) Of course, it mounts using a legitimate username/password.
  
• Public - Guests only
  hmmm - I thought this meant only Guests could access, but I just created a test share with this choice and then successfully mounted it in moOde using a legitimate username/password...must reread docs.
  

I thought since you had entered a username/password, you were using credentials known to OMV. If they were wrong, you should have seen an error message in moode.log like

Code:

20181129 122343 worker: Job sourcecfg
20181129 122343 wrk_sourcemount(): Mount error: (mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs))
20181129 122343 src-config(): Job: updmpddb

As for the server/share name issue, the default setting for OMV is to return the hostname of the SMB server. The reason I suggested the ping test is that your LAN's DNS may not be resolving an address for the bare hostname. That could explain your first moode.log error. If the default setting has been changed (netbios names don't have to be the same as the hostname) then for sure there'd be a problem.


However, I'm flummoxed by your second error which suggests that you reached the NAS (via its IP address) but it rejected the share name "Music" which you say the scan returned.
