Mounting network share in LibreELEC

bunter fisch · September 16, 2017 at 4:53 PM

Hi,

i want to use some scripts in background when librelec is running, for that i need my network share (usb device connected to my router with samba) mounted in libreelec. i tried this Mounting network shares - OpenELEC but it doesn't work. the error message is

Host is down

is there an other way to mount the samba share?

probably show us the file you are using and remove passwords if those are in

i created the mountpoint /storage/fritzbox. the file "/storage/.config/system.d/storage-fritzbox.mount" looks so:

Code

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

[Mount]
What=//192.168.10.1/FRITZ.NAS
Where=/storage/fritzbox
Options=username=user,password=password.,rw
Type=cifs

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Display More

after that i run

Code

systemctl enable storage-music.mount

and the symbolic link was created:

Code

Created symlink /storage/.config/system.d/multi-user.target.wants/storage-fritzbox.mount → /storage/.config/system.d/storage-fritzbox.mount.

after reboot the samba share isn't mounted.

the path on the router is correct, i also tried the whole path to the usb drive without success. (1. i disables the file with systemctl disable storage-fritzbox.mount 2. changed the path in the file and 3. enabled it again and reboot).

after reboot i have an error in the left upper corner but i can't read the whole text. something like "error cifs mount". where can i see the whole log? i can't find it here: storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log

i also found nothing in 'dmesg'.

here is the log: cOXN

Kernel 4.13.2 currently defaults CIFS mounts to SMB3. You need to add ",vers=2.1" or maybe even ",vers=1.0" as an extra option when connecting to older Samba servers, ie.

Code

Options=username=user,password=password.,rw,vers=2.1

You can see the message in the log explaining why the mount is failing:

Code

Sep 17 09:32:24 LibreELEC kernel: No dialect specified on mount. Default has changed to a more secure dialect, SMB3 (vers=3.0), from CIFS (SMB1). To use the less secure SMB1 dialect to access old servers which do not support SMB3 specify vers=1.0 on mount. For somewhat newer servers such as Windows 7 try vers=2.1.

It's possible that later 4.13.y kernels may switch to SMB2.1 as the default, as SMB3 is not as widespread as originally thought. LibreELEC 8.2 will default CIFS mounts to SMB2.1.

before i've tried this i restored a backup of the boot device where libreelec is installed (because of an other problem). so my first test was mit libreelec remix vers. 2017-09-08 with kernel 4.12.x and it works also with the prefix "vers=2.1".

then i updated to the last version 2017-09-15 with kernel 4.13.2 and it doesn't work the prefix "vers=2.1", but with "vers=1.0".

LibreELEC 8.2 will default CIFS mounts to SMB2.1.

libreelec devel-2017-09-15 is based on libreelec 8.2 (as i can see in the system info), but vers. 2.1 doesn't work. in the log there isn't an error

You'll only get the message in the log with kernel 4.13.2+. See

I have same problem I try with all versions 1,2.1,3. I can only mount read only?
