 |
|
Hello,
I have a ASUS Wireless Router called RT-N66U where I can attach a USB disc and share it via samba. I have done so and am trying to connect to it from a computer running gentoo, but despite many attempts, I do not seem to be able to mount it. This is what happens:
| Code: | /usr/bin/smbclient -L RT-N66U
Enter root's password:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.37]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
testmapp (at sdb1) Disk sdb1's testmapp in SanDisk Cruzer Blade
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (RT-N66U)
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.37]
Server Comment
--------- -------
RT-N66U RT-N66U
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
WORKGROUP

I think I should mount this with
| Code: | | mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=testpassword //RT-N66U/testmapp /mnt/usbshare/ |
But I always get this
| Code: | Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
|
I have tried a few permutations of the path, like //RT-N66U/sdb1/testmapp and have also escaped all the "/"-signs, but it always gives me the above response. I looked at the man mount.cifs, but I didn't find anything relevant.
| Code: | modinfo cifs

Is the mount -t cifs command above correct?

It didn't work, I got
| Code: | mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=testpassword IPC$/testmap /mnt/ST3250823A/
mount.cifs: bad UNC (IPC$/testmapp) |
Tried with "//" before IPC$ also. |

Hi,
Try //RT-N66U/IPC$/testmap
Also try to use IP address instead of RT-N66U.
Here an example of a share I use at work:
sudo mount -t cifs //ip3.gouv.qc.ca/347$/usagers/R03C01A/trebe03 /home/bernard/U -o credentials=/home/bernard/.ip3,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
The password file contains :
| Code: | username=testuser
password=testpassword
domain=ip3 |
If you're in a workgroup don't put the 'domain' part.
I prefer to use a credential file to avoid problem with special character in passwords.
Take a look at the manpage of "mount.cifs", il may have hints.
Regards,
BT

imaginasys beat me to it
cifs looks for the FQSN - Fully Qualified Share Name. I as going to do what he suggested next on the premise that your error changed from mount error 6 to mount.cifs error

Hello and thanks for your help.
I did as imaginasys said, but I got:
| Code: | mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=testpassword,domain=ip3 //192.168.1.1/IPC$/testmapp /mnt/ST3250823A/
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
|
I also tried without the domain=ip3 part and also with RT-N66U instead of IP.
Can it be that the router don't work well with cifs on the client side? |

Unplug/umount the USB Disk and plug it in/mount it on a normal usb port
Tell us if it mounts...

Don't use the domain=ip3 part. ip3 is my domain name at work!

I installed an app on iPad that could explore shares on samba and I was able to see it fine from there, so I guess there is no problem with mounting or anything similar.
Is there anything special with cifs in comparison with the old smbmount command that the server don't support? |

Eventually I found out how it was supposed to be called:
| Code: | | mount -t cifs -o username=testuser,password=testpassword //192.168.1.1/testmapp\ \(at\ sdb1\) /mnt/ST3250823A/ |
Thanks for your help, imaginasys and eyoung100. |

Always beware of specials characters in share name or password!
