[PROBLEM] SCAN mount using SMB

[DaveJohnsonOtt]

First off Tim, thanks for registering me quickly on this Forum - secondly, I'm finding your published "SetUp Guide" very helpful in understanding RPI & the MoOde environment.  I received my Allo Boss2 pre-built on MoOde January 4.

My only issue right now is "NAS Mount Error...".   I have a WD 2 TB NAS wired to my router (with just over 850 GB of music files), and my Allo Boss2 connected very stable over WiFi.  ApplePlay is fine, USB music is fine, the Library of Radio Stations works fine, but I can't mount my NAS.  I want to get NAS right before adding streaming services.  I've been through Allo's 'ComputerAudiophile' support, but their suggestions have all been what I've already tried (through your .  I'm hoping you can help.

MoOde detects my NAS using SCAN, but won't mount.  Music is actually 1 layer further down (& structured through folders) in "MYBOOKLIVE/PUBLIC/Shared Music".  Using the '192.../...." address won't mount either.  ID/PW are entered correctly & so is a short name for the mount.  I have no issues accessing the music files through Flac player on iOS, or through music players on PC's or over Plex Server. 

Here's the NAS Mount Error log (any suggestions?):

What was entered in the Path and Name fields in the Create Music Source screen?

[DaveJohnsonOtt]

when going with the Scan approach: MYBOOK/Public,

when going with the ip address: 192.168.2.13,

& just named it: NAS (tried a few others as well).

There is an ID/PW to enter as well for the "W:" drive.

[Tim Curtis]

I wouldn't name it "NAS" since the local mount directory is /mnt/NAS/. What you end up with is /mnt/NAS/NAS. Try a name like "Music" or "FLAC".

The path should prolly be:

MYBOOKLIVE/PUBLIC/Shared Music

[TheOldPresbyope]

The error message

Code:

20220125 202900 sourceMount(): Mount error: (mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs))

basically means moOde reached the server but asked for a share the server didn't recognize.

[aside]
When using the symbolic hostname of the server it has to be one recognized on the LAN which, depending on the DNS service, may mean having to qualify it. I like taking advantage of mDNS and use <server hostname>.local

Since I reserve IP addresses for well-known hosts like my NAS, my printers, etc., I often mount a share directly using the IP address form: <server IP>/Share_name
[/aside]


As for dirs/subdirs (or folders/subfolders if you like) you should be able to mount the highest level of the share or a sublevel of it.

Example, among other things my NAS shares directory Test.

I can mount 10.0.0.2/Test and access everything in the share or mount 10.0.0.2/Test/SubTest and access only the files at or below the directory SubTest.

If I mistakenly try to mount, say, 10.0.0.2/Test/SubRest, I get exactly the message you got.

BTW, I'm always wary of spaces in file or directory names. It should be ok, but....

Regards,
Kent

[DaveJohnsonOtt]

Well it seemed to recognize  when doing the scan, but it appears they didn't shake hands.  Perhaps like an old school NACK in old mainframe communications.  Early 80's college ;-)

So, if I follow correctly, the actual 192.168.2.13/Shared Music should work: 


However, I'm still getting that "NAS mount error...", like with MYBOOKLIVE/Public.

[DaveJohnsonOtt]

apologies, that was an image of my directory tree.  

but the 192.168.13.2/Shared Music is a public mount, accessible by w/o ID/PW if on the network.  

But even setting up with the overall NAS Admin access detail loaded in as ID/PW, it doesn't connect either.  

I've tried all combinations. 

I'll attach the NAS Music Source in the Library & Directory Teree 'Snips' below: 

The Log is as follows: 

Code:

20220126 204639 sourceMount(): Mount error: (mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs))
20220126 204650 sourceMount(): Mount error: (mount error(2): No such file or directory

[Tim Curtis]

What does SCAN display?

[DaveJohnsonOtt]

SCAN displays:

1. MYBOOKLIVE

2. MOODE/... (pre-exisitng internal libraries)

3. & my manual entries "192..." entries, "MYBOOKLIVE/PUBLIC/Shared Music", etc., prior to removal of mount attempts.

MYBOOKLIVE requires ID/PW (includes unique user content & Admin access)
MYBOOKLIVE/PUBLIC... technically wouldn't (if I understand correctly - I've tried respective combinations both with & w/o ID/PW)

[Tim Curtis]

In your case the moOde SCAN has only returned the host name of your NAS and not any of the Samba share names advertised by the host MYBOOKLIVE.

What do you enter in other players to access the share?
