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

[castalla]

Sheesh!



Try this:

/bin/busybox.new mount -t cifs //192.168.0.13\\Musiek /media/TEST -o user=Joggler,password=Joggler

and if this fails, then

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.13\\Musiek /media/TEST -o user=Joggler,password=Joggler

[Error]

"no such file or address" x2

[castalla]

Out of ideas! Sorry.

We're stuck unless some busybox expert has a suggestion.

[Error]

oh damn.. I copied your code and you misspelled muziek.. will try later..

[castalla]

Blinkin' Dutch, eh?!!!

Hope it works.

[offbeatdave]

Even if you have done it before, please try the exact following in PnP III (assuming you still have the directory /media/TEST)

Code: Select all

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.13/Muziek /media/TEST/ -o ro,user=Joggler,password=Joggler,_netdev

making sure the / are the correct way and not missed out, spaces are in the correct place and all cases for usernames and passwords are correct for what you have set up and report back what the output is. If it just returns a #, type

Code: Select all

ls /media/TEST

[castalla]

Try offbeatdave's suggestion BUT also try the code I gave.

I forgot - you have to use ls NOT dir to show the folder contents.

* I'm suggesting the //192.168.0.13\\Muziek route because somebody elsewhere reported success using that ....

[Error]

Well, I tried all your suggestions but none works. Unfortunately.

I'm thinking of replacing the Seagate for another NAS. I now think of swapping the disk into another brand. But which NAS is confirmed working with PNPIII? Don't want to experience the same behaviour twice...

[castalla]

Hmmm.

When you used //192.168.0.13\\Muziek did you get an error message?

[Error]

Hmm I can't recall and the thing is now lying torn apart as I'm going to build it into the wall.. any suggestions on a nas?

[castalla]

Not really. I have a router which has a usb port which turns it into a media server - works 100%.

I ask because you reported previously a message saying no such file or address - but that was using the mispelling. I had a hope it might work because the message was relatively intelligible.

[offbeatdave]

I would have liked to have seen the output from this too and from my suggestion 3 or 4 posts above this one.

Hey ho.

My router (Linksys x3000) has a USB port with a 1TB unpowered portable drive attached which works 100% too, not that that is any help!

[Error]

OK tonight I will try the options again and post the code!

A router with unpowered harddisk is even cheaper in terms of power usage..

I just entered this code again. It doesn't return an error but neither does it return my "#"
First I tested via ls /media that TEST does exist.
How long should I wait before getting the # back?

[castalla]

It should return relatively quickly (compare the time it took with SqPos).

You should be able to get the prompt back with ctrl-z or ctrl-c

I tested all the options but neither one of them returns my prompt...
So I don't know what to do now... other than trying to test with another nas?

edit: It means that I didn't get any error code or -message.

I don't get the prompt back with either -z or -c... strange?

[castalla]

Sometimes you have to enter the ctrl + z several times.

Did you try the /bin/busybox.new mount .... code ?

[Error]

you mean your first comment on this page? Yes I did, it ate my prompt as well

[castalla]

I think we've reached the end of the road then - sadly.

Maybe it's a timeout issue ...
