[SOLVED] Problem mounting mycloud nas

[bill-lancaster]

I have two partitions, one running K18.04 and the other has a fresh install of K20.04
With 18.04 the following code mounts the nas device:-

sudo mount -t cifs -o ,dir_mode=0755,file_mode=0644,rw,soft //192.168.1.109/Public  /media/mycloud

With 20.04 I get this error message:-

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

Before trying the mount, I did the following:-
sudo mkdir /media/mycloud
sudo chmod 755 /media/mycloud
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

Maybe I missed something, any help would be welcomed.

Well, I see an extra comma before dir_mode in the options list...

Looks like there's some bugs in the new samba, but I'm not sure if it's client or server related:

I did a quick test here using KDEneon 20.04 in a virtual machine. I was able to mount my samba server. However, not sure how useful that into is as both my client and server are samba version 4.7.6

Ok, tested again from Kubuntu 20.04 VM using 4.11.6, after installing cifs-tools and giving my user a samba password, I was able to mount the server share no problem.

smbtree doesn't work though, which is weird.

Looking at your error messages again, it looks like your PC isn't seeing the NAS. Can you ping the NAS?

Thank you oshunluvr,
Your suggestion to ping the NAS was very sensible.
I'd forgotten that I've recently changed my broadband supplier and the NAS has a different ip!
How stupid of me.
Thanks again.
