Hello,

what exactly do you try to do? Mount an USB drive?
Because it looks like you try to mount a Samba/CIFS network share and not a local USB drive?

If you have set up a samba share on volumio, can you share the config of it please.

praveensg · 28 January 2025 14:38

Iam trying add the USB Hard drive connected to my Volumio.
Please share me the code to show the samba share on Volumio

can you check if the DietPi client is able to see the SAMBA share provided by the server side

smbclient -L <server_name_or_IP> -U <username>

praveensg · 28 January 2025 15:42

its shows syntax error-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’

Joulinar · 28 January 2025 16:34

can you share the whole output including what you have entered. You can copy content from SSH terminal without issue.

Ok at least the SAMBA exports are displayed. Are you able to manually mount the share?

sudo mount -t cifs //<server_ip_or_hostname>/<share_name> /mnt/samba -o username=<samba_user>,password=<samba_password>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777

small note, it is sufficient if you copy the commands and the corresponding output from the SSH terminal. The login screen, welcome message and other banner information are not necessary.

praveensg · 29 January 2025 14:37

root@DietPi:~#

getting this error

Joulinar · 29 January 2025 15:27

simply do a df -h. This will show all mounted drives.

This is expected, as you have only mounted the drive manually

It is best to enter the information manually in /etc/fstab. Simply do this in the network section below these lines

#----------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORK
#----------------------------------------------------------------

and add

//<server_ip_or_hostname>/<share_name> /mnt/samba cifs cred=/var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-drive_manager/mnt-samba.cred,iocharset=utf8,uid=dietpi,gid=dietpi,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,noauto,x-systemd.automount

Then create the file for user + password

nano /var/lib/dietpi/dietpi-drive_manager/mnt-samba.cred

add

username=myuser
password=mypassword

save and exit.

After a reboot, the Samba share is automatically available as soon as someone wants to access it.
