Network mount fails after upgrade to LE12

Quote from fanformusik

A few days ago I started the upgrade LE11 -> LE12. Everything went fine - but LE12 won't mount my samba share any more. I get this error message:

Code

journalctl -xe
.....
May 27 17:52:50 LibreELEC systemd[1]: Mounting storage-ProLiant.mount...
May 27 17:52:50 LibreELEC mount[1958]: username specified with no parameter
May 27 17:52:50 LibreELEC systemd[1]: storage-ProLiant.mount: Mount process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
May 27 17:52:50 LibreELEC systemd[1]: storage-ProLiant.mount: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
May 27 17:52:50 LibreELEC systemd[1]: Failed to mount storage-ProLiant.mount.
.....

I double checked my mount definition file (storage-ProLiant.mount) but it is completely unchanged, and contains full username and password.
I disabled the "old" mountpoint, rebooted LE and enabled the mountpoint again: Still no connection to the share.

For info, here's my mount def file (credentials replaced by ****)

Code

[Unit]

Did I make a mistake? How can I reconnect my Network share?

Try..Check kodi settings services smb client minimum 1,maximum 3,

Make sure folder on your PC is shared..

Check mount file for any errors from editing on windows

dos2unix /storage/.config/system.d/storage-test_mount.mount

This is working to mount an HDD from Windows 11 on LE12...looks same as yours to me..

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

[Mount]
What=//192.168.0.10/D
Where=/storage/test_mount
Options=username=Mario,password=*****,rw,vers=2.1
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

systemd file name is storage-test_mount.mount

Pretty common error it seems. You can run the chkdsk app in windows or a more simple solution is select your drive in windows from file explorer, click properties, Tools then error checking. It's a windows file issue more than LE.

LE (error message: network FAILED), before kodi is started.

I think you mean mount failed..

That's what you get if you don't set min and max smb version where I told you above...(from kodi)

Can you access your server from file manager?

vers=2.1 is probably giving the error..so read my post again...Did you check your SMB settings?

If your error is error message: network FAILED try to set wait for network with about 5 sec delay..

If you just upgraded I don't think kodi's SMB settings should had been altered but if you made a fresh install you ll need to set them back up..

Sorry. Same kind of issues with NTFS files.

Mario77 :

Here are my actual settings (from kodi):
Lowest supported protocol version = SMB2
Highest supported protocol version = SMB3

For testing I changed SMB2 to SMB1, but no success.

Network waiting delay = 10 sec

Messages on LE boot:
Waiting on network to come online...
Failed to mount storage-ProLiant.mount (=the mount def file)

Interestingly, from within kodi I can access the server without problems, but during LE startup mounting a network share to a local folder fails (I need this for TV recording, TVheadend can't write to network).

did you try to run

dos2unix /storage/.config/system.d/storage-ProLiant.mount
