LibreELEC on RPi won't mount NAS drive over CIFS

cyxus2019 · September 13, 2019 at 10:16 AM

Hi, I have a new NAS unit that I am trying to mount on LibreELEC.

I have created a mount point at /storage/nas. I have created a file /storage/.config/system.d/storage-nas.mount with the contents:

Code

[Unit]
Description=cifs mount script
Requires=network-online.service
After=network-online.service
Before=kodi.service

[Mount]
What=//buffalo-4tb-nas/kodi
Where=/storage/nas
Options=username=kodi,password=kodi,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I have issued the command systemctl enable storage-nas.mount

The drive does not mount however. If I look at the output of systemctl enable storage-nas.mount I get this:

Code

● storage-nas.mount - cifs mount script
Loaded: loaded (/storage/.config/system.d/storage-nas.mount; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

This is weird on two fronts, firstly the date is wrong (although the date command shows the correct local time) and I am not sure the URI looks right (where did that http come from?) I've tried rebooting but this doesn't help either.

It looks right to me but something obviously isn't. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

looks something gone wrong here, pls try to replace the name of the nas with the ip address of it

What=//buffalo-4tb-nas/kodi -> What=//123.123.123.123/kodi

I have the same problem, and replacing the address with an ip address doesn't help. And I get the same sort of result using an alternate NAS server, and all kinds of combinations of passwords (which should not be needed)

I am running Libreelec 9.1.501 on an Raspberry Pi 4

What is also odd, like above, is the error messages with a wrong date. System date is correct

Code:

StudyPi4:~/.config/system.d # cat storage-networkdrive.mount

[Unit]

Description=networkdrive mount

Requires=network-online.service

After=network-online.service

Before=kodi.service

[Mount]

What=//192.168.0.1:/home/streamers

Where=/storage/networkdrive

Options=

Type=nfs

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Code:

● storage-networkdrive.mount - networkdrive mount
