Help please I think I messed up bad

[Stanleh]

I just bought a velo 4k+ to use with my synology nas, well it wouldn’t see the drives and so I followed a official wiki on how to mount them, however I think I did something horribly wrong as I thought I had done it but then rebooted the velo and got this pop up.
Oh please don’t let me have bricked it already lol.
This is the faq I thought I was following

Configuring fstab based NFS share mounts

This tutorial is to help those who’d like to use NFS (Network File System - mostly used with Linux/Unix systems). It assumes that you already are sharing media files favourably on a NAS system that supports NFS shares (for how to setup NFS sharing e.g. on your NAS system, look for instructions by your system’s vendor). Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in NFS client? Using /etc/fstab is faster than Kodi’s own NFS client - it delivers better throughput and is more reliable (also than SM…

and this is what my velo says when I try to boot it.

Thanks in advance and sorry for being a muppet !

Hi,

I would say /etc/fstab may have become miss formated. I would attach keyboard and issue

cat /etc/fstab

take a photo of the screen and share here.

Alternatively you could reinstall:

Reinstalling OSMC - Vero 4K - OSMC

I would also suggest mounting your shares via autofs, rather than fstab:

Mounting network shares with autofs (alternative to fstab)

This how-to describes how to mount your network shares via autofs. Autofs should be as performant as fstab based mounting but has the advantage that your shares are mounted on demand which also should give you more reliability in case of network interuptions. First install the autofs package sudo apt-get install autofs If you already have mounted your shares already via fstab comment out that line in fstab and reboot. For this how-to we are going to use a directory for each server, if you wa…

Thanks Tom.

Thanks for the reply, which version of linux for it should I download or would you recommend to just get the image, and if yes for the image how do I go about installing it to the usb drive.

See Reinstalling OSMC - Vero 4K - OSMC. This should help you.

Holding down the button for thirty seconds seemed to fix it.
Thank you very much.
Now to try and not break it again when I mount the drives.

[Stanleh]

I am a complete novice when it comes to linux so I think i may well be misunderstanding some of it.
I have tried to go through step by step on the link provided on how to mount a drive using autofs.
I don’t know how to do logs so I can show you what I have or haven’t done correctly, I tried grab-logs -f -J but nothing seemed to happen.

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

Are you mounting NFS or Samba?

-f won’t help as autofs doesn’t use fstab, and for future reference the flags are concatenated, so it should have been:

grab-logs -fJ

Thanks Tom.

[Stanleh]

NFS
judging by the text I think it says the problem is -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

Please provide the output of the following:

cat /etc/auto.master

cat /etc/auto.nfs.shares

&

showmount -e IP_of_your_NAS

Thanks Tom.

Hi,

Still need the output of:

@Tom_Doyle

cat /etc/auto.master

Also which shares are you trying to mount?

Also could you please provide the output of:

ifconfig

Thanks Tom.

[Stanleh]

@Tom_Doyle

cat /etc/auto.master

sudo nano /etc/auto.master
/- /etc/auto.nfs.shares --timeout 15 browse
/mnt// <192.168.0.28>:</volume1/Movies and TV>

I am hoping to mount all of the ones listed about, so satashare to usb9 and movies and tv.

Oops give me a second pasted in wrong command

osmc@osmc:~$ cat /etc/auto.master

Sample auto.master file

This is a ‘master’ automounter map and it has the following format:

mount-point [map-type[,format]:]map [options]

For details of the format look at auto.master(5).

#/misc /etc/auto.misc

NOTE: mounts done from a hosts map will be mounted with the

“nosuid” and “nodev” options unless the “suid” and “dev”

options are explicitly given.

#/net -hosts

Include /etc/auto.master.d/*.autofs

The included files must conform to the format of this file.

+dir:/etc/auto.master.d

Include central master map if it can be found using

nsswitch sources.

Note that if there are entries for /net or /misc (as

above) in the included master map any keys that are the

same will not be seen as the first read key seen takes

precedence.

+auto.master
sudo nano /etc/auto.master
/- /etc/auto.nfs.shares --timeout 15 browse
/mnt// <192.168.0.28>:</volume1/Movies and TV>

Hi,

You will need to check to the NFS rules for satashare, as it seems to be set to only allow the nas to access it.

you need to create /etc/auto.nfs.shares, so:

sudo nano /etc/auto.nfs.shares

And then add shares, I will provide a couple of examples:

/mnt/video 192.168.0.28:/volume1/video 
/mnt/USB9 192.168.0.28:/volumeUSB9/usbshare

Once the shares are added, you can either reboot or issue:

sudo systemctl restart autofs

Thanks Tom.

[Stanleh]

Do I need to exit and save before the reboot
also i have /mnt/satashare 192.168.0.28:/volumeSATA/satashare for the satashare drive is that correct ?

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

@Stanleh

Do I need to exit and save before the reboot

Yes.

@Stanleh

/mnt/satashare 192.168.0.28:/volumeSATA/satashare

Its correct, but you will need to log in to the synology and change the nfs rules host ip (this is under nfs permissons for the share) to 192.168.0.213; before the share will work.

Thanks Tom.

[Stanleh]

Ok done (i couldn’t see the bit where i put in a manual ip for satashare so i just said everyone like i had on all the other drives) and rebooted like you said.

[Tom_Doyle]

Hi,

So have the shares mounted?

you can check for example:

ls /mnt/USB9

Do you see your files from your nas?

Thanks Tom.

[Stanleh]

osmc@osmc:~$ ls /mnt/USB9
1080 TV Shows 1080P Movies 4K Movies @quarantine USB9
osmc@osmc:~$

So looks like it has worked, if you give me a minute i will check to see if my player can now see the drives as mountable.

Seriously, thank you for your time so much mate. Very much appreciated.

[Stanleh]

Ok I have worked out how to mount most of them
Satashare, usb 2 nothing happens when I click ok like I do the other drives
and Movies and TV drive is not listed at all.

having to edit this one as i am a noobie and reached my post limit.

@Stanleh

Satashare, usb 2 nothing happens when I click ok like I do the other drives
and Movies and TV drive is not listed at all.

Well I think we need to look a bit deeper then.

1. Let us ensure your fstab is clear. Please post URL of paste-log /etc/fstab
2. Post urls of paste-log /etc/auto.master and paste-log /etc/auto.nfs.shares
