SMB Shares - Cannot Browse After Update

fzinken · 27 April 2016 03:39

Did you try sudo mkdir

andibit · 27 April 2016 04:36

Hello fzinken,

Got it working with sudo mkdir. Just a word of advice for anyone following this thread: remember to mount all: sudo mount -a
and check of your mount is correct, with mount command
Also, don’t reboot the Rasberry, as it won’t mount automatically.

Thanks!

fzinken · 27 April 2016 04:39

I also posted some more details here

anbodearg · 27 April 2016 08:54

try:

sudo mkdir /mnt/ap

lamerz · 27 April 2016 09:35

I have added this line in the fstab.
It automatically mounts on every boot or reboot, but does’n work with the command sudo mount -a.

DBMandrake · 27 April 2016 20:40

mount -a will only mount “auto” mounts. You have noauto (as you are using x-systemd.automount instead) so therefore mount -a will ignore it.

So if you want to manually mount it just use sudo mount /mnt/Video to specify the mount point explicitly.

lamerz · 27 April 2016 21:46

Ok thanks for explanation.

I use the remote pi board and I shut down the pi3 every night so I need the auto mount option at every boot/reboot.

Thank you!

I haven’t had the time to read through this entire thread, so my apologies if this has been mentioned already, but I believe this is to do with a security update to Samba (see here Samba 4.3.8 - Release Notes).

Under Behaviour changes it details the following:

o  The following constraints are applied to SMB1 connections:

   - "client lanman auth = yes" is now consistently
     required for authenticated connections using the
     SMB1 LANMAN2 dialect.
   - "client ntlmv2 auth = yes" and "client use spnego = yes"
     (both the default values), require extended security (SPNEGO)
     support from the server. That means NTLMv2 is only used within
     NTLMSSP.

I get the following output when trying to list shares using smbclient, which corresponds with this change:

root@dev:~# smbclient -L 192.168.1.1 -U steve
WARNING: The "syslog" option is deprecated
Enter steve's password:
Server does not support EXTENDED_SECURITY  but 'client use spnego = yes and 'client ntlmv2 auth = yes'
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

If you can’t update the samba version on your server to one that enables extended security support, you can work around this by setting up a persistent mount in /etc/fstab (I wouldn’t recommend changing to use client use spnego = no and client ntlmv2 auth = no in your smb.conf files as this makes your network more vulnerable).

To setup a persistent mount do the following:

Login to your OSMC device over ssh (use PuTTY on Windows)
ssh osmc@192.168.1.100 (default password is osmc)
Get root
sudo -i
Create a mount directory
mkdir -p /mnt/data
Open /etc/fstab
vi /etc/fstab
Insert (press i to enter edit mode in Vi) the following line into /etc/fstab (obviously replace //192.168.1.1/Data and/or /mnt/data with the correct share/mount point):
//192.168.1.1/Data /mnt/data cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
Save /etc/fstab and exit (press Esc to exit edit mode and type :wq to save and exit)
Create the /root/.smbcredentials file
vi /root/.smbcredentials
Add the following lines into /root/.smbcredentials (obviously replacing sambauser and mypassword with the correct credentials)
username=sambauser
password=mypassword
Save /root/.smbcredentials and exit
Change permissions on /root/.smbcredentials
chmod 600 /root/.smbcredentials
Mount the directory
mount -a
List the directory
ls -alh /mnt/data

Now when you reboot that share will be mounted to /mnt/data (or whatever folder you created for the mount point).

You can then go into OSMC and when browsing for a new share using the Root filesystem option and browse to mnt and then data to access that filesystem.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Does this method still work if your windows 10 desktop/server has no login password? If so what do you put into the area that asks for a user name and password?

fzinken · 29 April 2016 02:42

truckmann · 30 April 2016 00:54

Thanks. I’ll wait it out a little longer for a fix before adding an account. It’s inconvenient, but I can still stream to my Vero via UPnP.

lamerz · 30 April 2016 15:13

Hi!
I’vae already tried your method (file credentials) but it doesn’t work.
When i write sudo mount -a this is the result:
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

This is my new fstab:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
//192.168.1.2/Archivio /mnt/Video cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
//192.168.1.2/Giochi\040ps3 /mnt/Ps3 cifs credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

Obviously I have already created the credential file:

username=My\040Complex\040Username
password=mypassword

I have already tried with or without the \040 chars, also tried with ‘My Complex Username’ or “My Complex Username”…same result…

ANY IDEAS???

p.s. it all works if i put My\040Complex\040Username and password directly in clear the fstab…

sam_nazarko · 30 April 2016 15:15

Just a heads up that the Samba maintainer for Debian has acknowledged there is a regression in the latest Debian package and that there will be an update to address this soon: [Pkg-samba-maint] Restoring pre Badlock CVE behavior in libsmbclient.

In the interim, we have also done some work which will improve things for users trying to connect via Kodi to legacy SMB devices which do not support NTLVM2 authentication. This will be made available shortly in the next update.

Quattrogam3r · 30 April 2016 18:15

Thanks Sam. Good to know your on top of it. Still, I like the fstab way of mounting now that it’s working for me… It seems much quicker.

james_ss · 12 May 2016 16:08

Hi Lamerz,

Sorry, I haven’t checked the thread for a few weeks!

You should be fine with x-systemd.automount. It mounts the filesystem on demand. So the filesystem could sit unmounted for days following a reboot. However, when you or a system process accesses the drive, it will be mounted automatically.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Steve

jheldens · 21 May 2016 08:51

Can someone please tell me if this issue is fixed or if we are still waiting for upstream debian fix.

This is not clear to me in the May update release notes mentions:
Fixed connectivity to legacy shares after the Badlock CVE update.

But since this update I am unable to connect to my SMB shares (I think i skipped the april update so it is the first time I have seen this bug.)

I can just say that I am unable to access my SMB shares.

The files are shared on through the OSx Server running on the latests OSx El Capitain (10.11.4).

I have different clients
OSx Laptop (10.11.4) kodi 16.1 --> no problems
Win Laptop 8.1 kodi 16.1 --> no problems
iPhone 9.3.? kodi 16.1 --> no problems
raspberry pi (the B model with 512mb) osmc may update --> problem no access to the shares.

I am using a MySQL setup so the osmc has no sources defined (it gets the location to the file from the database).

The path it receives from the database has the following structure:

smb://user:pdw@osxserver/MediaFiles/Video/Name of the File/filename.mkv

fzinken · 21 May 2016 09:05

Connections to legacy smb shares have been fixed with the May update. Connections to guest shares (passwordless) have not been fixed.
As it seem you are using username/password it should work for you. If you have updated to latest May update and still have problems you would need to post debug enabled logs. And also the contents of /home/osmc/.smb/.smb.conf

jheldens · 21 May 2016 12:48

Hi,

Thanks for the swift reply.

In the attached files you should be able to find the information you asked for. It contains extract of the kodi.log and the smb.conf

I hope you can resolve this issue for me.

Also if I ssh into the raspberry pi i can ping the osxserver machine :
temp$ ping osxserver
PING osxserver (192.168.0.x): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.0.x: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.860 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.0.x: seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.648 ms

PS: I made some minor nods to the kodi.log (masked user/pwd and some filenames for the obvious reasons).

I tried uploading the file through pastebin. But I am new to this service and the interface was not very clear. So I am not sure if it arrived correctly. So against forum best practices I past the information is the post.

That indicates a issue with your samba server or the connection to it.

What does net view gives you if you execute it on OSMC and also if you do that on your Win Laptop?

FYI, you can upload logs with grab-logs
