cifs on nas

[kallquk]

Hello,


I have a ipbox9000+usb nightly 0.7.5 with internal hdd and an external NAS.
I am having no success on mounting shared folder of nas on /mnt/cifs. I found a file: /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/EMUmanager/mountstarter.sh, inside this script is listed, as a kind of library, the file: /var/config/cifs.conf. Inside cifs.conf are parameters for a cifs mount like ip address, directory, login user and pass, which I filled with NAS ip etc. Later in mountstarter.sh is a kind of procedure:
=====================================
mount_cifs()
{
if [ -e /var/etc/active_cifs ]; then
mount -t cifs //$cifs_address/$cifs_directory /mnt/cifs -o user=$cifs_login,password=$cifs_pass
fi
=======================================
where the variables are the same inside cifs.conf. The mountstarter.sh is executable by emu manager->disk menu-hdd/cifs mount manager, in auto mode that means mount both hdd and cifs. HDD is always ok, but I do not find anything in /mnt/cifs. I forget to say that I created a 0 byte file: /var/etc/active_cifs.
After failing mounting, I tried directly from shell, the mount command above putting values instead of variables:

mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/kot /mnt/cifs -o user=a,password=b

and system response is:
mount: mounting \\192.168.1.2\kot on /mnt/cifs failed: No such device
I also have a dreambox 500s in this network, and try th same command from dm500 shell:

the cifs mount is successfull on dreambox you can see nas folders.
The mount command is correct, something is wrong in ipbox9000

Can you help me? I have several days trying it

thanks in advance

For some reason SIFTeam excluded cifs file system (samba shares support) from the latest E2 version.
To enable cifs support extract attached archive and copy cifs.ko to /lib/modules/
After this add this line to your /etc/rcS_user.sh file:

insmod /lib/modules/cifs.ko

Restart E2 (or execute /etc/rcS_user.sh).

Example of mounting windows share:

mkdir -p /mnt/cifs
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/movies /mnt/cifs/ -o username=Guest

thank you for the help but this did not resolved my problem. I put the cifs.ko in /lib/modules, then please see the execution as follows:

mount: mounting \\192.168.1.2\kot on /mnt/cifs failed: No such device or address
cuberevo:/#

As you can see, I executed the command, initially, and resposne is: no such device. then executed the insmod, that was successfully, but cannot be executed more than once as you can see. the directory /mnt/cifs exists in the filesystem, anyway executed mkdir as you told me. at last I gave again the mount commant which again failed with the quite same message: "no such device" is more "or address" !? the same command executed successfully in my dreambox 500.

The syntax of the command is OK. If u can mount the NAS share from the dreambox the NAS config is OK. Check if u have network connectivity at all: - ping 192.168.1.2

I ping from ipboxshel the nas and the ping was ok, no loss. About the mount from dm500 in the same network, see by yourselves:

The same is not possible from ipbox(I only change mount foldeof dipbox, because /hdd is busy, there is internal harddisk in ipbox, so I use /mnt/cifs.

where may be the problem ?

 

[kallquk]

There are news about my cifs mounting! Or better saying there are complications
Ipbox can easily mount cifs a winxp shared folder in my pc, but not the nas shared folder While the dreambox 500 can mount both winxp folder on pc and the same shared nas folder.

Dreambox can, Ipbox not.
Can this be fixed ?

Obviously the problem is in your NAS. Beyond the subject of sat-universe forums. You can try to update your NAS firmware to the latest version (check manufacturer page)

yes may be your one sentence answer is true. The nas and windows xp pc have differences, hardware difereces too. All in favor of windows xp.

I tried to mount nas from enigma1 sifteam version r9580, that stands in flash of ipbox9000:

it does not work neither here! It is an additional error message: //192.168.1.2/kot is not a valid block device

But the NAS can be mounted as cifs by my dreambox 500 in the same network as I wrote in my previous threads, and by debian lenny that is in my pc.

It does not work in any image of ipbox, may that the cifs is not fully implemented. I would like to know if anyone use nas with ipbox

 

[kallquk]

It is high probable, I could not use my NAS with my ipbox for some time and I am unhappy for that. Anyway, I am asking for a conclusive answer from an expert of sifteam and linux too, rather than users like me, which I thank them again for sharing their experinces with me.

I am not allowing easily the fact, why all my linux devices like dreambox, debian in pc mount cifs the nas and ipbox9000 with all images enigma1 & enigma2 including latest, cannot mount cifs my nas(but can mount cifs a shared folder in my PC with winxp).

I had in my hands a dreambox 800, for installing and configuring purpose, and I am very angry with myself that I did not try with it to mount cifs this nas. So I cannot say if it possible with dreambox 800.
