Amahi Forums

Hi,
Having installed Amahi 9 I am having trouble with greyhole and samba; shares in greyhole are not accessible over the network.

In /usr/lib64/greyhole I see greyhole-samba43.so is highlighted in red which I understand to mean that it is archived (although I don’t really know what that means).

It seems that the version of samba installed (version 4.3.4) is not compatible with greyhole as re-installing amahi-greyhole gives this message:
Warning: Greyhole doesn't include a VFS module for your version of Samba (4 3).
We will try to use the VFS for Samba 3.6, but that might not work.

So it appears that I need to downgrade the version of samba that I am using. I would be grateful if you could tell me how to do this or if there is any other fix for this problem.

Thanks
Gary

We have an update to Greyhole that needs testing with Amahi 9

If interested please see bug 1966.

This may fix your issue.

We have updated the RPM with new bits. Please install and report how it goes. Do this as root or sudo:

Thanks for the quick response. I've installed the update without any problems but I still can't see the greyhole shares from a windows machine on my network, well I can see the folders but I get this message when I try to open them:

"Windows cannot access \\HDA\Gary

Check the spelling of the name. ...."

I've tried re-starting the HDA and my Windows machine.

Also mount_shares_locally doesn't work, I can see the folder names but no content.

Have I missed something?


Thanks
Gary

Focus on getting standard (non Greyhole-backed) shares working first please.

Sorry, I should have said, non greyhole shares work fine.

I've noticed that I'm getting this message when I re-boot the server:

CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -6

Can you find out exactly why?

Do you mean why do I get the cifs_mount error? if so, I don't know but I could do some more research.

I'm sorry but I'm getting nowhere with this. If I run "journalctl -b" I see errors like this for each share:

Does this give you any clues?
