Network drives

Help and Support
1

I am having trouble mounting my network drives. I use /etc/fstab and had to change IP addresses but putting the new one in doesn’t work now.

When I try:
sudo mount -t cifs "//192.168.2.13/QQ Media" "/mnt/QQ Media" -o rw,iocharset=utf8,username=****,password=****,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,vers=3.0

I get the error “Couldn’t chdir to /mnt/QQ Media: No such device”

The IP address is correct. I can mount and use the drives from my other Macs. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I would recommend reading the following

I have read that and seem to have everything correct in my command. I just can’t figure out what is wrong. Can anyone see an error or give me a hint on what to try? Thanks.

How are we supposed to see an error if you haven’t posted logs? :wink:

That particular command is working for me from my Win10 box…

osmc@kodicave:/mnt$ sudo mount -t cifs "//192.168.254.201/Video" "/mnt/QQ Media" -o rw,iocharset=utf8,username=****,password=****,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,vers=3.0
Couldn't chdir to /mnt/QQ Media: No such file or directory
osmc@kodicave:/mnt$ sudo mkdir "/mnt/QQ Media"
osmc@kodicave:/mnt$ sudo mount -t cifs "//192.168.254.201/Video" "/mnt/QQ Media" -o rw,iocharset=utf8,username=****,password=****,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,vers=3.0
osmc@kodicave:/mnt$ ls -la /mnt/QQ\ Media/
