system.d Problems mounting NAS

dingo2000 · December 3, 2020 at 5:31 PM

I've tried using CIFS and NFS but neither working. Here is the log: http://ix.io/2GnH

For CIFS to mount onto directory "NAS"

[Unit]

Description=cifs mount script

Requires=network-online.service

After=network-online.service

Before=kodi.service

[Mount]

What=//192.168.1.14/Volume1

Where=/storage/nas

Options=username=admin,password=XXXXXXX.,rw,vers=1.0

Type=cifs

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enabled using PuTTY "systemctl enable storage-nas.mount"

For NFS (onto a different directory "NSA")

[Unit]

Description=nfs mount script onto NSA

Requires=network-online.service

After=network-online.service

Before=kodi.service

[Mount]

What=//192.168.1.14/Volume1

Where=/storage/nsa

Options=

Type=nfs

[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enabled using PuTTY "systemctl enable storage-nsa.mount"

I don't really mind which is used. The NAS can only run Samba v1.0 which I guess would make the NFS method preferable?. The NAS is fixed IP address.

Any help much appreciated.

If it's a synology nas read this.

Thanks but it's a ZyXEL NSA325v2. It only supports Samba v1.0 but also NFS.

With CIFS the error is "permission denied". But I don't understand why when I can see the files on there when I browse for new share under "Windows network (SMB)". However I need to be able to mount the drive.

(The error with NFS mount is "Invalid Argument")

NFS is not SMB, use What=192.168.1.14:/Volume1.

Quote from mglae

NFS is not SMB, use What=192.168.1.14:/Volume1.

Thanks, that gave me "Permission Denied" so getting closer.

I went back into the NAS which said the NFS Share full path for Volume1 is:

/i-data/e6510fdf/nfs/KodiShare

So I changed system.d to:

Code

What=192.168.1.14:/i-data/e6510fdf/nfs/KodiShare

That gave me a report that said: LibreELEC systemd[1]: Mounted nfs mount script onto NSA (i.e. no errors?)

I assumed that was ok and that I would be able to access the NAS from /storage/nsa, but there's nothing in there - just 3 dots.

So I how do I see the files on the NAS? Sorry for the dumb question and thanks for your patience!

Three dots? Do you see . and ..? Is this the output of ls -a /storage/nsa?

Use systemctl status storage-nsa.mount and journalctl -u storage-nsa.mount to see systemd messages. mount is showing all succesfil mounts from system.

And simple but important: is there anything stored below /i-data/e6510fdf/nfs/KodiShare on the NAS?

In case this is helpful..

Assume you have allowed specified device/IP's on your network NFS access to confirmed folders/files on your NAS? Looking in ZyXEL NSA325v2 manual on page 232 (Within section 11 add packages) it explains how to set-up required access to a user/device on network once you have installed the NFS package on the NAS.

Thanks everyone, Kodi / System Info / storage shows it is mounted correctly.

I'll figure out the NAS peculiarities.

Finally I can start to have some fun with it!
