SOLVED: Mounting Samba Shares (locally or remote) error

[olson]

Hey,

I just did a re-install of Amahi (in xenserver) and brought my old drives (greyhole) over from my old hda. I'm getting error...

Code: Select all

mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library

...when using Mount_Shares_Locally.

I can login w/ windows to the share just fine.

I figured out that if I removee the "iocharset=utf8" from the mount command... it works.

Will this cause any issues by not having iocharset=utf8 added?

Why can I not set utf8 now? I could do it before on my older server. Are their issues w/ not setting utf8 in my mount command?

I also tested this by trying to mount from a different linux VM (mythbuntu) to my hda... same issue.

Note: Both servers (new and old) were Ubuntu installs. I decided to start fresh in my Xenbox rather than P2Ving my old server.

Might wanna check the wiki guidance. It was updated to day and there may be something new that will help.

I just did a re-install of amahi... the mount_share_locally works on it.

BUT I didn't test it on my existing drives yet. It could be an issue with existing gh drives... I'll detach the drives from my other virtual machine and add them to my new one... see what happens.

We will consider this one resolved then. Not sure what went wrong before, but if it's working on a new install then all is well.

I don't think the re-install was what fixed it. I noticed it would work if I manually mounted the drives, but wouldnt work if fstab mounted the drives.

This would mount just fine but locally mounting CIFS didn't:

Code: Select all

UUID={uuid here} /storage/d2tb defaults 0 2

This worked:

Code: Select all

UUID={uuid here} /storage/d2tb defaults 0 0

I'm not sure why pass of 2 would effect mounting cifs... Marking as solved works for me though.

Odd. Do you have all the additional dependencies needed for mounting drives installed per the wiki? That is an important step that might make a difference.
