And that's the problem, I can't mount another one. I even tried with SMB 1.0.

mount -t cifs \\\\192.168.1.2\\NetBackup /tmp/mnt/netbackup/ -o "username=*********,password=*********,vers=2.0"
mount: mounting \\192.168.1.2\NetBackup on /tmp/mnt/netbackup/ failed: No such device

Try creating mount point via command line: mkdir /tmp/mnt/netbackup

$ls -al /tmp/mnt

This was done in error on firmware versions 3006 and has since been resolved on Merlin firmware.
As mentioned by @RMerlin here: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/a...vailable-for-wifi-7-devices.90487/post-914044
And in commit: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/commit/d483436bfd11524125afab4ae1e5551116a27f8d

Of course, the removal on the 3006 has no impact on your 3004 firmware. Even when it comes to 3004.388.8_2 cifs works without issue on Merlin firmware.
If it's missing on Gnuton I would open an issue on the Gnuton GitHub.

As I said cifs.ko is missing and I already notified it on github.
And nfs.ko is apparently also missing from that firmware on that router.

I reused the same mount point to check if the problem was the communication to the NAS or creating the mounting point.

[B]visortgw[/B]:

Try creating mount point via command line: mkdir /tmp/mnt/netbackup

I created the folder before trying mount -t cifs.
So, I'll stick on doing backups on that 2d partition, partition that can be accessed on the network.

For the record, I am now using Synology Active Backup to backup on the NAS the backup folder from the AX58Uv2 smb fileserver.
Without any trouble.

Thanks for your time.
