 |
|
I'm trying to mount the root partition on my RPi with samba. Why is
another matter. I need help from someone with better samba skills than mine.
Here is my share from smb.conf:
| Quote: |
[root]
comment = root access
path = /
valid users = root
force user root
forge group root
writeable = yes
create mask = 0755
|
When I browse it with smbclient it works:
| Quote: |
armstrong jesnow # smbclient -L //192.168.1.240/
Enter root's password:
Domain=[GEOSC] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.14]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
root Disk root access
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (SnowPi1)
Domain=[GEOSC] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.14]
Server Comment
--------- -------
ARMSTRONG Armstrong
LOCALHOST SnowPi1
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
GEOSC ARMSTRONG
|
When I log in with smbclient it works:
| Code: |
smbclient //192.168.1.240/root
Enter root's password:
Domain=[GEOSC] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.14]

smb: \> exit

But when I try to mount it, barf:
| Quote: |
armstrong jesnow # mount -t cifs //192.168.1.240/ /mnt/test
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.1.240/,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
(for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
|
Thanks for Samba's supremely ambiguous error messaging I'm left with 5 possible error cases to think about, all of which I can rule out because smbclient connects. So I'm kind of at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Nothing interesting in dmesg on either machine.

i think because the share is named [root] in smb.conf the mount-cmd must be
| Code: | mount -t cifs //192.168.1.240/root /mnt/test
mount -t cifs //<host>/<share> /mount/point/ |
analogous to
| Code: | | smbclient -L //192.168.1.240/root |
the share-name root and linux / are not the same :wink:
GOOD LUCK!
