PNPIII - trying to get NAS mounted for LMS - SUCCESS!!

[castalla]

I noticed the following on the server:

Workgroup

Mode: [x] Workgroup [] Domain Member

Workgroup Name: WORKGROUP

Does that have anything to do with the Joggler not getting access?
Will try the sqpOS-on-a-stick-solution as soon as i have time to do that.
I will get back.

Not relevant.

Did you try the commands below?

-------------------------------------------------------

Make sure that TEST exists. Login and do ls

You should get a return which shows TEST

If not, then do mkdir TEST again


Then try:

mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Muziek

and/or

mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Public/Muziek

[Error]

Yes, test exists.
LS returns nothing, it's empty as expected.

It's now running the first command (0.13/Muziek) but it's already taking half an hour..

[castalla]

Okay. I don't think 30 mins. is correct!

Try ... /Public/Muziek

then just .... /Public
------------------------------------------

We could try another route. Create a new shared folder on the NAS - Call it TESTER. Make sure Joggler has access and CIFS is enabled. Copy a few folders from Muziek into it.

Then do

mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/TESTER

and/or

mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Public/TESTER

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If still no success -

I think the only option now is to try the Sqpos method.

Our problem is that we don't know if the issue is at the Seagate ...

[castalla]

If you are still trying with PnP .... try


/bin/busybox new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Muziek

and/or

/bin/busybox.new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Public/Muziek

[Error]

I thought it was a smart idea but unfortunately, nothing new happens.
I made the folder, copied a folder with some files and tried to mount it with no luck.
Stupid NAS. however I discovered I made the folder "TESTER" and it appears as "tester".

So tried again and got this

Code: Select all

login as: joggler
joggler@192.168.0.12's password:
# mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester
mount: mounting Muziektest on TEST failed: Not a directory
# mount -t cifs Muziektest -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester
mount: can't find Muziektest in /etc/fstab
#

[Error]

If you are still trying with PnP .... try


/bin/busybox new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Muziek

and/or

/bin/busybox.new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Public/Muziek

Code: Select all

# /bin/busybox new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Muziek
new: applet not found
# /bin/busybox new mount -t cifs Muziektest -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Muziek
new: applet not found
# /bin/busybox.new mount -t cifs Muziektest TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/Public/Muziek
mount: mounting Muziektest on TEST failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
#

I did get this message a few times in all my trying; resource temporarily unavailable... strange
EDIT:
now it returns "no such device or address"

[castalla]

Damn! I really have no idea what is wrong!


Then try:

mount -t cifs Muziektest /TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester

[Error]

Damn! I really have no idea what is wrong!


Then try:

mount -t cifs Muziektest /TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester

Code: Select all

# mount -t cifs Muziektest /TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester
mount: mounting Muziektest on /TEST failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
# mount -t cifs Muziektest /TEST -o noperm,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester
mount: mounting Muziektest on /TEST failed: Not a directory
#

And again...

I'm gonna set the f******* NAS on FIRE GRRR!

[castalla]

One more time!

Do

mkdir /media/media/TEST

then

mount -t cifs Muziektest /media/media/TEST -o user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester

Maybe reboot the NAS and the Joggler before doing this.

Especially the last post.

So try

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs Muziektest /media/media/TEST -o user=Joggler,password=Joggler,unc=//192.168.0.13/DataVolume/Muziek

[castalla]

Yes! Try above but make sure you did

mkdir /media/media/TEST

[Error]

Well of course I get "no such device or address"

Will try the SqpOS on-the-stick option, but otherwise I think I'm gonna go with the hub option then

The hub is gonna contain
- DAC (to be bought)
- Stick/SD-card/MicroSDcard

I read through USB powered harddisks don't work via the USB port right? So I need one with an adapter?
And how big should it be, because FAT32 is much smaller then NTFS.. So for all music and films to fit I'll need a big one......

[castalla]

Oh dear ...

I bought a very cheap non-powered hub at a Chinese Supermarket - cost about 4 euros with 4 usb points. It works fine with usb stick, a flirc usb remote adapter and a usb sound card. USB size - depends!

Try the SqPos - let's see if the mount fails there also .... as I said ignore all the LMS setup stuff - just get wifi and SSH enabled. Ww just need to test the mount command. One advantage of this method is that we can use a verbose option which might give more info.

[castalla]

This is a long shot:

Set the NAS folders to Public access - or whatever Seagate call it

Try

mount -t cifs Muziektest /media/media/TEST -o user=guest,password=,unc=//192.168.0.13/tester

ps: I never got a reply on Seagate forum about this. I've asked on the Logitech forum if anybody is using the Seagate successfully. It has to be a Seagate issue ..... we've tried everything else!

[castalla]

@error

I modified the SqPos settings a little:

see http://www.jogglerwiki.com/forum/viewto ... 668#p18668

(Changed the location of the mount folder to /srv/TEST - added verbose option to mount command)

Make sure you have set the folders back to Joggler user before testing

I read through USB powered harddisks don't work via the USB port right? So I need one with an adapter?

This very much depends on the disk itself. Most of my portable hard disks have worked absolutely fine through the USB port, even connected to a hub that also had the OS on a USB stick and USB powered speakers.

My USB hard disk experience wasn't with LMS however; I was using XBMC on Ubuntu and using the hard disk as a NAS, serving video files to my Apple TV 2.

[Error]

SO.. back again..

Although I've not given up on the NAS I am now testing with an external harddrive that I have lying around, which is powered via an adapter..
I plug it in, start LMS, go to the directory 'mnt' and wtf! all my directories on the harddisk are there! So this is one option that may work.
It's now scanning my music directory but that's already taking fifteen minutes now! But I have good hopes since I saw all the directories..

If this works than I'll need to try if an usb powered disk will work as well.

I've pretty much decided to buy this DAC:
this one
As far as I can see it is capable of outputting analog through 3,5mm jack as well as optical 3,5mm right?? It just depends on what you use..
I'm gonna offer one speaker up for it as I want to solder it in.. I opened the joggler this week just to get familiar with the internals.

Also I chopped up the power plug of the Joggler, since there's an UK plug on it. I'm planning on extending the wires so the enormous plug can easily be hid out of sight.

Will get back with results.

[Error]

I can confirm the harddisk (NTFS Format) works. Yeah!! Finally something actually WORKS!
So a 32GB USBstick will suit my needs if the NAS will never work..

Is there any advantage to connect the Joggler wired compared to wireless?

[castalla]

The first scan always takes some time.

Wifi means you can place it away from the router! unless you've got dedicated cabling.

[Error]

what do you think of the DAC I want to buy? My music system is capable of playing 24/196.. Is it a good choice or are there better choices to make? I prefer the thing very small as I want to build it in...

I just tested (all wirelessly):
- tv played music from Joggler / Atom
- Joggler serves music to both TV and Joggler itself

No stuttering etc. Cool!
