NAS network mount

fuddyduddy

Hi janui

Having removed the existing mount, I decided I would play safe and start over again.

This time I remembered to insert my actual password and all went as intended. The output from the grep command duly conformed with your specification in all respects - and there is now only the one, correct, line not two.

However, MPD is not now seeing any of my music collection. In the 'Library' tab of the Rune 'Playback' gui it detects 2 "network attached storages". But clicking on that box doesn't produce any list(s). Previously, when both "Artists" and "genres" boxes were clicked that brought up my music sub-folders appropriately sorted. Now both lists are blank.

Hi fuddyduddy,
Sounds OK, but just to check could you share the output of these commands:

grep -i cifs /etc/fstab
grep -i cifs /proc/mounts

Then go the Sources UI and click on the button UPDATE MPD LIBRARY.

Here we are

[root@runeaudio ~]# grep -i cifs /etc/fstab
//192.168.1.102/My040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0
[root@runeaudio ~]# grep -i cifs /proc/mounts

Then go the Sources UI and click on the button UPDATE MPD LIBRARY.

I did that and it resulted in two entries appearing in the 'Libraries' ui ,'Network mounts' page:- "My_Musik" (sic!) and "My_Music"). But so far no music folders have shown up.

I have done a re-boot but that has only caused the double-entries in the 'Network mounts' page to disappear, leaving it as well as the 'Albums' and 'Genres' pages now blank.

EDIT

When I clicked again on the "Rebuild MPD Library" box, the doubly-entered music library sources reappeared on the *Network mounts' page. But no music folders.

I am not sure what is going on here. The mount command in /etc/fstab looks fine, but the mount is still failing. Could you run these commands to clean up some system variables and files:

cd/home
umount -aft nfs
umount -aft cifs
rm -R /mnt/MPD/NAS/*
rmdir /mnt/MPD/NAS/*
mount_store=$( redis-cli keys mount_* )
for mount in $mount_store; do
resis-cli del $mount
done
redis-cli del mountidx
dir

Run the whole set of commands in one go by copying and pasting. If it doesn’t seem right, you can run all the commands again without any problems.
Then to try to find your problem. I suspect that something has changed on you Windows machine. Maybe the IP address. Could open the DOS system prompt on Windows and run the following two commands:

ipconfig
whoami

Please post the output.

Hi janui

Here's the output

[root@runeaudio ~]# umount -aft nfs
[root@runeaudio ~]# umount -aft cifs
[root@runeaudio ~]# rm -R /mnt/MPD/NAS/*
[root@runeaudio ~]# rmdir /mnt/MPD/NAS/*
rmdir: failed to remove '/mnt/MPD/NAS/*': No such file or directory
[root@runeaudio ~]# mount_store=$( redis-cli keys mount_* )
[root@runeaudio ~]# for mount in $mount_store; do
> resis-cli del $mount
> done
[root@runeaudio ~]# redis-cli del mountidx
(integer) 1
[root@runeaudio ~]# dir

I note it didn't find the /mnt/MPD/NAS directory!

Using the two commands in Windows returned my correct user name.

EDIT ...and correct NAS network address

Could you please post the output as requested.
And a question, can you access the 'My Music' share from another Windows machine?

Here it is. Sorry.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>whoami
desktop8\rober

I'll check and let you know

Yes I can.

Thanks for the replies. I backtracked our communication and I think I have found the problem.
You need to modify /etc/fstab, with this:

nano /etc/fstab

Look for this line (it should be the last line):

//192.168.1.102/My040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

The password will probably be different, but change the first part of the line to include a '\' before the '040', like this:

//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

Save the file with <ctrl>o, <enter> and then <ctrl>x. Then reboot. Check it with:

grep -i cifs /proc/mounts

Your mount should be listed. Then go to the Sources UI and click on ‘Rebuild MPD Library’ to load your music.
Optionally, you could also try changing the same line in /etc/fstab to look like this:

//desktop8.local/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

The advantage of this is that it will still work even if the IP address of your Windows machine changes.

Was there a step missing? Here's the output

Hi fuddyduddy,
You seem to have gone back several steps and you have not explained what you have done. What is described below in this post has been previously described in this thread. Just to manage your expectations, I will not explain it a third time.

Log in via SSH, and run the following command (the command is one line):

echo '//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0' >> /etc/fstab

Modify your username and password before executing the command!

To check that is has worked run this command:

grep -i cifs /etc/fstab

The output should be one line and look like this:

//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

Then reboot and check that the mount is listed with this command:

grep -i cifs /proc/mounts

The output should look like this:

//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

If it is there, then go to the Sources UI and click on ‘Rebuild MPD Library’ to load your music.

If you screw up, please restore the /etc/fstab from the copy which you made. Use this command:

cp /home/fstab /etc/fstab

Then start again.

If you get stuck, post the output of this command (first remove your password from the output):

cat /etc/fstab

Hi janui

Then reboot and check that the mount is listed with this command:

Code: Select all
grep -i cifs /proc/mounts

The output should look like this:

Code: Select all
//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,vers=3.0,cache=none,username=rober,password=secret 0 0

If it is there, then go to the Sources UI and click on ‘Rebuild MPD Library’ to load your music.

In fact this is how it looked

[root@runeaudio ~]# grep -i cifs /proc/mounts
//192.168.1.102/My\040Music /mnt/MPD/NAS cifs ro,relatime,vers=3.0,sec=ntlmssp,cache=none,username=rober,domain=DESKTOP8,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.1.102,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,nounix,serverino,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,actimeo=1 0 0

Never mind, because after having clicked on 'Rebuild MPD Library' my 'My Music folders have all been loaded anyway.

Thanks a bundle

Hi fuddyduddy,
That is good news. Enjoy the music.
