[SOLVED] mount.cifs «mount error(2): No such file or directory»

I’m trying to connect to a shared drive at work (primarily a windows facility). I have no previous experience with samba, so I may be missing something obvious, but the error message I’m getting is not very informative:

(note «redacted.com» is in place of the actual domain, all else is actual command and output)

The mount point exists:

And my password is correct as I get results from smbclient with the password (first output below), but not if I intentionally use a worng password (second output):

So I can list the shares, but mounting fails with the message «No such file or directory». Adding the verbose flag doesn’t seem to provide much more:

Are there other diagnostics I could collect?

yield?
Did you try it’s IP address instead of the NetBIOS host name?
Edit: Did you also try to use an explicit version?

Re: [SOLVED] mount.cifs «mount error(2): No such file or directory»

Thanks for that link, I’m not sure how I missed it. I’ll have to try some of that tomorrow when I’m back on the network. I never tried `ping FILESERVER` directly, but I was able to ping the ip address that is listed in the verbose output for that server.

(edit: I didn’t bring my computer in today, so I’ll have to check back on Tuesday)

EDIT: pinging works:

Following the link above, though, I found it was the «vers» option, but in my case (discovered through trial and error) I needed to add «vers=1.0» to the mount options. Thanks!

Right clicking the directory on the NAS displays the path as being:

Any ideas on what to do next to troubleshoot?

OK I spotted a syntax error, I get little further on using the below:

On entering the NAS password I see the below:

Paste the output of `uname -a`. If the kernel version is different to `pacman -Q linux` you have either not rebooted after an upgrade, or your /boot was not mounted for the kernel upgrade and you will need to fix that.

Output of uname-a is certainly different `pacman -Q linux`, so different I am left wondering if I am understanding you correctly?

and you will need to fix that.

How do I fix it? I would be surprised if my boot partition was not mounted.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Both commands return linux 5.1.15.arch1-1.

pacman -Q linux = linux 5.1.15.arch1-1
uname -a = Linux arch 5.1.15-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 25 04:49:39 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hey guys,
Having a problem mounting my network share from my Buffalo Terastation. It’s set to smb2 and I can get to it at smb://192.168.1.100 no problem. So great, lets mount it permanently in fstab. No luck, keep getting «error 2 (No such file or directory) opening credential file /home/nateman/Documents/cred.txt»

Here’s my fstab line: «//192.168.1.100/Music/ /mnt/Music cifs uid=0,credentials=/home/nateman/Documents/cred.txt,iocharset=utf8,vers=2.0,noperm,nofail 0 0»

I’ve created /mnt/Music and I’ve chown and chgrp on «/mnt/Music» it’s in nateman now

I’ve created cred.txt in the /home/nateman/Documents with username and password as it should be.

What am I missing? Thanks everyone!

That is a fairly explicit error message for cifs. My first instinct is that the cred.txt file is in an encrypted directory.

I would do a manual mount instead stating the credentals just to make sure you can connect before making multiple changes to fstab — something like this:

I changed uid=0 to uid=nateman . By default a cifs mount will make owner = root ( uid=0 ) with write permissions only to root. In order for you to write you need to make youself owner of the mount.

Doing a chown to yourself of the mount point is irrelevant. A mount always replaces the permissions of the mount point with it’s own.

Also by default cifs negotiates with the server ( NAS ) the right smb version to use between vers=2.1 and vers=3.x without you having to specify. Not familiar with the Buffalo device but are you sure it is set to SMB2 and not SMB2.1?

Linux Mint 20 NAS Drive Mounting problems. [Solved]

Linux Mint 20 NAS Drive Mounting problems. [Solved]

Post by uk_martin » Thu Aug 13, 2020 8:46 am

Hi. Please excuse a complete «noob» asking a question that’s probably been asked a million times in various guises, but to cut a long story short, I can’t seem to get the right syntax to establish a connection between my Synology NAS’s /Music folder and the /home/martin/Music folder on my Linux Mint 20 machine.

Different web sites I’ve looked at for this have the syntax in different orders, but basically what I went for was this:

All I got from this was a «Mount error (95): Operation not supported» error message. I’ve had a look at the Mount error (95) issue and I have to confess to it confusing the hell out of me.

Is there anyone who can suggest a string of text that I can copy and paste into the terminal, that with the addition of some fairy dust will connect the music that I have sitting on my NAS to the Music folder on my Linux Mint machine please? Sorry if this complicates things but the next stage will also be to ensure that this connection is retained at each boot up. Can that be ensured at this stage, whilst I am at it please?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.

credentials is a two line text file (put it wherever you want), first line username=xxx, 2nd password=yyy, or use username and password direct in the fstab line as outlined by altair4. uid=1000 is the same as uid=martin (assuming martin is the first user on your PC).
This mounts the home folder for username=xxx (andy) on the NAS at /media/synology, you can mount locally in /home/you/music or anywhere you want.

On hols at the moment so can’t connect to my NAS, thus hampered by what I can say/show but other thoughts:

• what version of mint and what have you set in the synology — could be a mismatch in smb1/2/3?

• does the user you are logging onto the synology as have read/write access to the music folder on the NAS?

• does the folder /home/martin/Music exist?

Try and get the syntax correct with mount first, then we can guide you through editing fstab to make it permanent.

EDIT — I’d forgotten you could «quickconnect» in remotely. It’s not 192.168.0.2/music or 192.168.0.2/homes/music, it might be 192.168.0.2/Volume1/music or 192.168.0.2/volume1/music. Under control panel > file services > smb make sure «enable smb» is checked and under the advanced button that min and max smb protocol are set to 1 and 3.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the delay in replying, the issues I’ve been having has meant that I’ve left the Linux Mint PC on the back burner whilst other things have taken priority.

So basically to answer your questions:

I’m using Linux Mint 20, Cinnamon version 4.6.7, Kernel version 5.8.0-31 generic
If I navigate to the NAS via «Network» then yes I can read, write and edit my files.
The /home/martin/Music folder does exist — it’s the folder that Linux creates as part of the original setup. It’s the one that’s in the quick access menu, i.e. the default one that applications look for their music in, which is why I want my music from the NAS drive to appear there.

Turning to the attempts to link to the NAS, yours is a good point about the addition of «volume1» to the path. I tried that, but sadly jut got a «mount: bad usage» error with a suggestion of going to «mount—help».

So, basically, I’m no further forward, but I have a little time on my hands now to try again. Just to repeat the end goal again. It’s to access all the MP3 files on my NAs drive via the Music folder in the Linux Mint «My Computer» quick access listings.

Thanks again in advance for any help in achieving this goal.

I’m trying to connect to a shared drive at work (primarily a windows facility).  I have no previous experience with samba, so I may be missing something obvious, but the error message I’m getting is not very informative:

$ sudo mount -t cifs //FILESERVER/Public /mnt/work -o username=jessem,domain=redacted.com,iocharset=utf8
[sudo] password for jmcclure:
Password for jessem@//FILESERVER/Public:
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

(note «redacted.com» is in place of the actual domain, all else is actual command and output)

The mount point exists:

And my password is correct as I get results from smbclient with the password (first output below), but not if I intentionally use a worng password (second output):

$ smbclient -L FILESERVER -U jessem -W redacted.com

Enter REDACTED.COMjessem's password:

So I can list the shares, but mounting fails with the message «No such file or directory».  Adding the verbose flag doesn’t seem to provide much more:

$ sudo mount -t cifs //FILESERVER/Public /mnt/work -o username=jessem,domain=redacted.com,iocharset=utf8 --verbose
Password for jessem@//FILESERVER/Public:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.10.97,unc=\FILESERVERPublic,iocharset=utf8,user=jessem,domain=redacted.com,pass=********
mount error(2): No such file or directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Are there other diagnostics I could collect?
