Hi everyone, I’m having trouble mounting my NAS SMB server into another linux device that I’m trying to set up as a jellyfin server, I tried scouring every forum and post, but I can’t get it to work so I’m posting here.
Linux version: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
Truenas version: TrueNAS-SCALE-ElectricEel - TrueNAS SCALE ElectricEel 24.10 [release]
here’s my SMB config path: /mnt/NAS 16TB 2 Vdevs Mirrored /Shared
I’m following this one youtube guide guide as this is the one that’s brought me the furthest though I have tried other methods with no success.
-
I have created a file containing the password in /home/ika/.password, even gave the file read and write perms
-
then I edit fstab file as such: //Server IP/Shared /media/ika/truenas cifs credentials=/home/ika/./ika/.password,iocharset=utf8 0 0
-
Then run $ sudo mount -a
I managed to get it to prompt me for a password, it outputs
"Password for root@//server IP/Shared: " -
I enter the password and get
“mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)”
I have no idea what else to try, I’ve looked though forums, tried multiple things, to the point where I don’t even remember what I tried, and nothing works. I’ve been at it for 5 hours today (I wish I was exaggerating), if anyone can help I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks
