I believe, I am experiencing a similar issue. My NAS[1] is a very cheap
box that is apparently based on the RDC R2882-G chip[2]. I found a
report on the net of another Linux user who owns a NAS box with the same
chip who was having similar problems to those I experienced[3]. He
apparently managed to get things going by simply installing the
forgotten smbfs package. Unfortunately, in my case, smbfs had already
been installed so that was no fix for me. I still experienced
difficulties similar to those reported here. En detail:
* Browsing of the Samba share via Nautilus works fine. But sometimes the connection becomes unresponsive after a few minutes.
I attributed this to a timed suspend function for the hard drive in the case. This is not my main concern
* smbclient -L mynas works and spits out the following (strange characters included)
Password:
Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
PUBLIC Disk
IPC$ IPC
Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
Server Comment
--------- -------
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
* Inspired by this bug, I found out that I can also use smbclient to connect directly and that works fine, too.
$ smbclient //mynas/PUBLIC
Password:
Domain=[ȇ] OS=[] Server=[���]
smb: \>
* mounting, though, does not. And that is a problem for me.
$ sudo mount -t smbfs //mynas/PUBLIC /mnt/test
Password:
mount error 20 = Not a directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
$ sudo mount -t cifs //mynas/PUBLIC /mnt/test
Password:
mount error 20 = Not a directory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
