FSTAB Issue connecting to network drive

[wbeard52]

Hi,
I have a Vero4K+ running Bullseye running Nov 2022 OSMC version.

I have a number of network shares setup that worked for a long time but not I can no longer connect from the Vero4K+ to those shares.

Here is one FSTAB entry.
//192.168.0.100/Multimedia/Movies /home/osmc/qnap/Movies cifs x-systemd.automount,auto,rw,iocharset=utf8,username=,password=,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0

When I do a mount -av. The error I receive is "Couldn’t chdir to /home/osmc/qnap/Movies: No such device.

I may have a corrupted file system but I don’t know much about the inner workings of Linux. Any help is appreciated.

Here is one FSTAB entry.

As you have fstab entries I assume you know how to SSH to the Vero. Let’s do some checks (copy/paste the output):

1. ls -lah /home/osmc/qnap
2. Suggest to install smbclient (sudo apt install smbclient) no need to share that info and then run the command: smbclient -L 192.168.0.100 and copy/paste

Could try to add in your fstab line vers=2.1 but let’s first see what the commands above give

Thank you @fzinken

ls -lah /home/osmc/qnap

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root    0 Jan  7 17:19  Movies

smbclient -L 192.168.0.100

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    Public          Disk      System default share
    Multimedia      Disk      System default share
    SMB1 disabled -- no workgroup available

I don’t know where to place the version info in the fstab line though.

It shows you in this guide…

Configuring fstab based Samba share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who are using Samba (also known as CIFS, SMB or Windows Networking). It assumes that you already are sharing media files on a Windows Server or Desktop. Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in SMB client? The Kodi client in current versions (17.x and older) is slow. Using /etc/fstab is faster, and not really that hard to setup. EDIT: 11/1/2019 While improvements were made in Kodi 18.x, using fstab will still be faster. Preparation: You will need to know …

I have unmounted the previous connections. I can now cd into the folder.
When I use this command in the fstab file I get the following error when I try to sudo mount -av

//192.168.0.100/Movies /home/osmc/qnap/Movies cifs x-systemd.automount,noauto,rw,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/etc/.credential_fstab,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,vers=2.1 0 0

/home/osmc/qnap/Movies: ignored

Finally found a dmesg error of -95. This led me to add in a vers=3.0 at the end of fstab as previously mentioned. Apparently when the QNAP NAS drive last updated it disabled SMB1.

I appreciate the help.

So are things working as expected now?

Yes. It is. I scoured the internet for the phrase “No such device” in relation to FSTAB and I could not find anything. I appreciate the clues that were given to find and fix the problem.
