SOLVED mount smb share inside vm

[kennis942]

This share does work from truenas to windows 10.
The os in the vm is Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=focal
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS"
i have tried several combinations with no luck... any other way of doing this is welcome aswell.

It depends on how you setup bridges and networking.. describe how you did it and people might see where the issue is.

I dont know if this is what you mean but here we go trying; everything network related

Looks like you are missing the bridge.

well, i have trouble with following these instructions, after i test network changes it reverts back and bridge is gone
After a restart after testing changes i got the bridge to stick. However, this does not change anything i still cannot mount my smb share in the vm

Does the mount point exist (i.e. /share or /mnt/share)? These error messages are saying the folder you are trying to mount the share doesn't exist.

yes i created "share" under /mnt/ on the vm and share does exist... this is what it looks like mounted in windows

Could you please take a screenshot of the output of the command?

mount -t cifs -o username=conti,password=mordi,vers=3.0 //192.168.1.227/media /mnt/share

I think you may be misspelling the username parameter as user and missing the share name. (e.g. media or backup)

i could but, it is the correct login info ACL is st up like this: share root is owned by group sharecontrollers@, members of that groups is "cont" (i was originally writing controller but limited characters so...) and ken both have full perms to smb share root.

I'm not questioning your ACL setup, I'm just trying to say you may have a typo on your parameters.

I believe the parameter is username= and you are using user=. Also, you need to ensure the mount point (folder /mnt/share) already exists.

Your command:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.227/ /share -o user=cont,password=mordi,vers=3

My suggestion:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=cont,password=mordi,vers=3.0 //192.168.1.227/media /mnt/share

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=cont,password=mordi,vers=3.0 //192.168.1.227/media /mnt/share

reason for that is i read in the man page alias for variable is username= or user=

i have got this set up, i just am unable to mount.

So the VM that can't mount is an ubuntu VM using SMB?

You might want to verify that VM.. suggested sequence
networking
simple nfs with a simple dataset
then SMB with permissions

Or try with a windows VM

I don't know of anyone having a similar issue. But, if there are, please make it known.

from my windows machine im on right now i have no problem connecting/mounting to the share
inside Ubuntu VM it gives errors when i try to mount.

@kennis942 From the screenshots you've posted, you are simply using incorrect syntax for the cifs mount in your ubuntu vm as already pointed out by @beagle above in #10.

In windows you have three shared folders: backup, media and TestSteam.

@beagle has given you the correct syntax to mount one of those shared folders in Ubuntu, using the "media" share as an example.
