Upgrade PC and can no longer access shares

[tonynh]

I upgraded my PC to Win 11 and now can no longer access the shares on my pc from pi.
I can SSH to the pi and I can ping the PC from the pi.
Uploaded log to: https://paste.osmc.tv/wehobuliwu

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Windows 11 has deprecated older versions of SMB.

You should be able to get things working but is there a reason you are using such an old version of OSMC?

[tonynh]

It was working with WIndows 10 on the older PC with that OSMC version. I had issues when I upgraded from that version so I reverted back and left it on that version.

[sam_nazarko]

Yes, Windows 11 has deprecated older versions of SMB, including SMBv1.
But you should be able to use a more modern version

[tonynh]

Is there any way to get it working with the version I have ?

[sam_nazarko]

Not sure – we had two posts recently. One user downgraded to Windows 10 and one never got back to us.

This if from Windows 11. It looks like it does have SMBv2

Hopefully some Windows users can chime in – it’s been a long time for me

Using SMBv1 is not recommended due to security issues and more recent versions of OSMC will work with later versions of SMB fine so there is no need to use the old SMBv1 anymore.

If you really want to enable SMBv1 on Windows 11 (or Windows 10). Hit Start, then enter “optional features”. It should bring you to Settings->Apps->Optional features. Scroll down the list of features and click the last entry “More Windows features”. In the new dialog, enable “SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support”. Probably needs a restart to get active. Again, upgrading OSMC is the better option here.

I would suggest to use autofs based mounts and use path substitution if you don’t want to rescan your library that gives you long term stability

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…

[HowTo] Repairing File Paths with Path Substitution

This guide is intended only as a more in depth instruction for manipulating file paths either for broken links or performance modification. For other applications of path substitution you can consult Kodi’s wiki on the subject. At its core, path substitution is a simple concept. You are simply adding <from> and <to> tags to an advancedsettings.xml file that specify a part of a file path that will get replaced, and the new path that will be replacing it. Kodi will use this whenever it is trying …

I tried mounting shares using autofs. I followed the procedure listed.
and the line I added to /etc/auto.smb.shares was:

/mnt/Latest-Movies -fstype=cifs,rw,username=csent,password=chuck00,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.1.180/Latest-Movies

I did a Ctrl O and Ctrl X

Then restarted autofs:
sudo systemctl restart autofs

but when I went to check:
osmc@osmc:/mnt/csent$ cd /mnt/Latest-Movies
-bash: cd: /mnt/Latest-Movies: No such file or directory

Does the line I added have the correct syntax?

@tonynh

Does the line I added have the correct syntax?

Looks right, did you used the troubleshooting advice to check if IP address and Share name is correct?

[tonynh]

Here is the output that keeps scrolling on the screen. I can’t tell anything from this.

it also had:

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

If it’s a SMBv1 protocol issue, you just have to re-enable this protocol in Windows11 to try. it’s obsolete but not totally removed.
Search the “Control Pannel”, “Programs and Functionnalities”, “Enable/Disable Windows Functionalities”, and search the “SMB 1.0 File Sharing Support” you will the Check the “SMB 1.0 Client” (to access a share)

[tonynh]

On the pi, going into Kodi settings then services, the SMB client shows min version as none and max version as SMBv3.

I also tried adding vers=3.0 to the line in auto.smb.shares

/mnt/Latest-Movies -fstype=cifs,rw,vers=3.0,username=csent,password=chuck00,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.1.180/Latest-Movies

@tonynh

Host is down

Are you sure you use the right IP address?
Suggest to install smbclient (sudo apt install smbclient ) and run the command:
smbclient -L 192.168.1.180

smbclient -W BEERCLUB1 -U csent -L 192.168.1.180

What gives

sudo smbclient -U=csent -L 192.168.1.180 -m SMB2

and

sudo smbclient -U=csent -L 192.168.1.180 -m SMB3

?

They both come back the same:

This sounds like a system which wasn’t updated since ages. Not sure, we’re seeing issues already solved long time ago?
