Share USB drive from linux box (Raspberry pi)

[leon]

Hello,

I like to access the USB drive connected to my ASUS RT-AC66U. I have enable Samba share on the router with proper settings such that I can access the drive via a Win 7 computer.

When I tried to access the same share with the below, I got permission denied,

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/samba -o username=xxxxxx,password=xxxxxx /mnt/mt1
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

I check the system log on the rounter and it shows

Jan 21 11:40:45 smbd[984]: [2014/01/21 11:40:45, 0] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1265)
Jan 21 11:40:45 smbd[984]:   reply_sesssetup_and_X:  Rejecting attempt at SPNEGO session setup when it was not negoitiated.

The drive is EXT3 formatted.

Any suggestions?

I have another questions: does the drive have to be EXT3 formated? Can it be NTFS for using Samba?

I think that for the mount command you need to double the slashes:

sudo mount -t cifs ////192.168.1.1//samba -o username=xxxxxx,password=xxxxxx /mnt/mt1

Also make sure /mnt/mt1 exists and has the right permissions.

The error is now bad UNC

I think the -o switch must be last.

If i mimic my working mount:

mount ////192.168.1.1//samba /mnt/mt1 -t cifs -o "username=xxxxxx,password=xxxxxx"

Not sure if the quotes are needed, but my mount works.

For public shares you can use following command:

sudo mount -t cifs -o guest,sec=ntlm,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.1.1/sda1 /**YourDirectory**

replace **YourDirectory** with your local directory

My RPi uses a share created on my NAS (Synology).
I just followed a short procedure I found with Google.

I think that for the mount command you need to double the slashes:

…backslashes. I'm mounting NAS SAMBA share to router with:

SHARE=\\\\192.168.1.3\\Public
MPOINT=/tmp/mnt/Public

[ -d "$MPOINT" ] || mkdir $MPOINT
[ -z "$(lsmod | grep cifs)" ] && insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.19/kernel/fs/cifs.ko
if [ -z "$(mount | grep cifs)" ]; then
            echo Mounting $SHARE to $MPOINT ...
            mount $SHARE $MPOINT -t cifs -o "username=guest"
fi

I tried to put the -o switch last, I got "Permission denied" error. The system log have the same error that I've shown in my original post.

I tried to append "sec=ntlm,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777" after my password, I get

Retrying with upper case share name
mount error(6): No such device or address
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

There is no error on the system log

I also tried using back slash such as

pi@raspberrypi /tmp $ sudo mount \\\\192.168.1.1\\samba /tmp/mt -t cifs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx

I got "Permission denied" error.... sigh...

Could you post the result of

ls -al /mnt

to make sure the mount point exists and have the right permissions?

 

[leon]

Here are the commands I issued. I only change the username and password

pi@raspberrypi /mnt $ sudo mount \\\\192.168.1.1\\samba /mnt/mt -t cifs -o username=username,password=password
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
pi@raspberrypi /mnt $ ls -al /mnt
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Jan 28 22:23 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Feb 16 17:15 mt

Over at the router side, this is setup as

RT-AC66U->Generic Flash Disk->sdb1->samba

I suppose I do not need to include sdb1?

The system log at the router side shows

Feb 16 17:23:50 smbd[9704]: [2014/02/16 17:23:50, 0] smbd/sesssetup.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1265)

Try sec=ntlmv2 at the end.

so:
pi@raspberrypi /tmp $ sudo mount \\\\192.168.1.1\\samba /tmp/mt -t cifs -o username=xxxxx,password=xxxxx,sec=ntlmv2

Perfect! Thank you so much!
