[SOLVED] I can't mount SAMBA network drive

[wonder]

Hi,
I have a network drive that I can not mount.
This network unit is a hard drive connected to my router, configured to be shared, which I can access from my smart tv without any problem, through ftp without any problem and through dolphin (smb: //192.168.0.1 ) also without any problem.
My idea is to mount it as a network unit, so first I want to test through the command line, and once mounted successfully, add it to the fstab so that it mounts every time I start the computer, as a unit.
I have tried many things, I have been trying different ways for 10 or 15 days, and none of them works for me.
I do not remember all the commands I've tried, I put the ones I've tried most recently (they're in memory of konsole).

[FONT=monospace]sudo mount -t smb://192.168.0.1/folder1/ /media/hd_externo -o user=admin [/FONT]
[FONT=monospace]mount: /media/hd_externo: tipo de sistema de ficheros 'smb://192.168.0.1/folder1/' desconocido.[/FONT]

In that command I put the user admin (is protected by username and password) should ask for the password of the user admin, it does not.
What it indicates is indicated in Spanish, my language, but what it means or what it says is: type of unknown file system.

[FONT=monospace]sudo mount -t cifs smb://192.168.0.1/folder1/ /media/hd_externo -o user=admin     
Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet. Attempt to mount smb://192.168.0.1/folder1/ [/FONT]

[FONT=monospace]sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.1/folder1/ /media/hd_externo -o user=admin     
Password for admin@//192.168.0.1/folder1/:  ***********
mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[/FONT][FONT=monospace][/FONT]

In the latter it says Host is down, it is not true, at that very moment, I access via dolphin and ftp and it is not down.

I have tried many more, that I can look for them.
But nothing has given me results, and ideas run out ...

Thanks in advance!!

Your format is wrong in all three examples.

Start with this:

smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -U admin

This will list the shared folders.

Then try this to mount, assuming "folder1" is in the list;

mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=<your_password>,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo


The fstab entry would look like;

//192.168.0.1/folder1 /mnt/<somewhere> cifs auto,users,vers=2.0,username=admin,password=<your_ password> 0 0

If you'd rather not put your password in fstab, you can create a credentials file and use it.

[wonder]

Only one doubt before made this steps.
In the password area, its indicate like this =<your_password>, my doubt, its necesary the password between <>?

Thanks and regards!

[oshunluvr]

No, just the password.

[wonder]

Ok thank you!
In a few minutes I made this steps and post results.
Again, thanks!

[wonder]

Sorry for the delay, yesterday, for a problem, I was need out of my house.

Now I made this steps, and continue with the fail:

smbclient -L 192.168.0.1 -U admin

Indicate that, in:
Enter WORKGROUP\admin's password:
I type de password of user admin (of my shared unit)

And then:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo
mount error(112): Host is down
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Same result...

Sounds like a version mismatch. Try

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo


or

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=2.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo

[oshunluvr]

I assume you're using your actual username and password for the server.

[wonder]

I assume you're using your actual username and password for the server.

Yes, I using my actual username and password of the server (not of the my computer)

Sounds like a version mismatch. Try

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo

or

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=2.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo

Hum...
This work!!
The first line, the line with vers=1.0
Work fine!!!

But then I want try with vers=2.0
I umount, and then, try to mount with the line with vers=2.0
I have a initial error.

After this, again, I try with first line (vers=1.0) and then, I can't, I have this same error:

[FONT=monospace]sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /me
dia/hd_externo
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)[/FONT]

The /media/hd_externo/ have a chmod 777.

Now, this its very strange for me...

Thanks and regards!

If your samba server is running version 1, you have to mount using version 1. Version 2 will not work.

Odd that it worked the first time and not the second. Permission errors could mean you've got security enabled on the server and you're not mounting with the correct option.

Security options;
none - attempt to connection as a null user (no name)
krb5 - Use Kerberos version 5 authentication
krb5i - Use Kerberos authentication and forcibly enable packet signing
ntlm - Use NTLM password hashing
ntlmi - Use NTLM password hashing and force packet signing
ntlmv2 - Use NTLMv2 password hashing
ntlmv2i - Use NTLMv2 password hashing and force packet signing
ntlmssp - Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in Raw NTLMSSP message
ntlmsspi - Use NTLMv2 password hashing encapsulated in Raw NTLMSSP message, and force packet signing

You would have to know which to use and put it in the mount command with sec= like this:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,sec=krb5,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo

You would have to know which to use and put it in the mount command with sec= like this:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,sec=krb5,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/hd_externo

I don't know how identify this, what value I need insert in sec=...

I made a test, I deleted the /media/hd_externo
I create /media/externo

Then, I type:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=admin,password=mypass,vers=1.0,user //192.168.0.1/folder1 /media/externo

Work perfect!!!

In this last operations, I don't restart computer.

In this moment, I don't umount, if you wan I can umount and re mount...

Well, I can wait...I made this

I umount, and then, I mount again, now, any problem, all fine!!!

I think that, when try with vers=2.0 some made some conflict or similar, I don't know...

You want we search the cause?

Also, now I view work fine with this command, in fstab its like this:

//192.168.0.1/folder1 /mnt/media/externo cifs auto,users,vers=1.0,username=admin,password=<your_ password> 0 0 ?

In other doubt, fot fstab, I need create first /media/externo or in the system process start create this folder?
Question this because, in my fstab I have 2 local hard disks mounted, and I don't remember that I was need first create /media/onefolder and /media/otherfolder for this two mounted hard disks in fstab.

Again, thank you very much!

[oshunluvr]

Great. Glad we got it worked out.

[wonder]

Great. Glad we got it worked out.

Thanks at you for your attention and help!!!

You can confirm this steps?:
fstab with this line?
//192.168.0.1/folder1 /mnt/media/externo cifs auto,users,vers=1.0,username=admin,password=<your_ password> 0 0

And its necessary made with: sudo mkdir /media/externo before insert the line in fstab?

Again, thank you very much!

[oshunluvr]

Yes, that all looks good.

[wonder]

Yes, that all looks good.

Again, thanks.

Only one doubt more:
In your line for add to fstab is like this the desintation mount point:
/mnt/media/externo
Always I mount my devices in /media/xxx
You add before/mnt/

Some difference?

It's just to learn.

Again, thank you very much!
