SMB disk sharing

[Armentis]

I tried with this :
//server/share /pathto/mountpoint cifs credentials=/home/MYSUERNAME/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup 0 0

and this :
# Disque dur Freebox :
//freebox-server.local/freebox /media/freebox cifs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=3,_netdev,rw,users,credentials=/home/identifiant/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,sec=ntlmv2,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=2.0,noauto 0 0

And go this :
mount: /pathto/mountpoint: failed to parse mount options 'rw,credentials=/home/armentis/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup': Argument invalide.
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
      the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.


I can not create folder in /media/freebox

I tried with this :
//server/share /pathto/mountpoint cifs credentials=/home/MYSUERNAME/.smbcredentials,uid=shareuser,gid=sharegroup 0 0

This wouldn't work since it was just a generic example.

and this :
# Disque dur Freebox :
//freebox-server.local/freebox /media/freebox cifs x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=3,_netdev,rw,users,credentials=/home/identifiant/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,sec=ntlmv2,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=2.0,noauto 0 0

There's a lot of extra stuff in here.  Try this instead.  But first you have to make /media/freebox with "sudo mkdir -p /media/freebox" if that folder doesn't exist.

Code:

//freebox-server.local/freebox /media/freebox cifs credentials=/home/identifiant/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Then "sudo systemctl daemon-reload".

Also, the .smbcredentials file needs to have the correct username and password for your SMB share.

[Armentis]

mount /media/freebox
mount.cifs: permission denied

Also, the .smbcredentials file needs to have the correct username and password for your SMB share.

I add Domain too, but always permission denied

[TheDreadPirate]

The username and password you are using is for the user on the server hosting the share, correct? Not the local user. Same with the UID and GID in the fstab config. It needs to match the UID/GID on the server for the authorized user.

[Armentis]

To recap with examples :

The smb on my box (freebox) :
Domain : WORKGROUP
User : userbox
Pass : passbox

Into the .smbcredentials file :
User : userbox
Pass : passbox

[TheDreadPirate]

I don't know how much it matters, but .smbcredentials should also have DOMAIN.

And, I'm not sure if this matters, but the syntax should be

Code:

user=userbox
password=passbox
domain=WORKGROUP

Use = instead of :.

Hi

With the command : sudo dmesg | grep -i cifs

[ 3889.900108] CIFS: VFS: Use of the less secure dialect vers=1.0 is not recommended unless required for access to very old servers

I changed the smb version to 1.0

[ 3889.900119] CIFS: Attempting to mount //192.168.0.254/Freebox
[ 3889.996413] CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13

The fstab line

//192.168.0.254/Freebox /media/freebox cifs _netdev,rw,users,credentials=/home/USERNAME/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,sec=ntlmv2,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0

If I don't put some SMB version, I get this :

mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs( manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

I will try to post my problem on a friendly freebox user forum, maybe more details with this specific intenet box

[Armentis]

That's working now ! I had incorrectly entered the path to the freebox disk from the start.

In any case, thank you very much for your valuable help which allowed me to learn a little more about Linux
