Its mounted again now. Nothing in the environment changed except that unraid was turned off for a time while I was frustrated with it.... so, yeah, smb server was fine, network was fine, creds were fine, there is something else that happens in unraid during shutdown/boot. I have no answer, only more questions.....

I did not say I remove it on every reboot, I said I have to start to add a new remote smb to get it to search, then cancel it, so the one that's already configured will allow the mount button to light up. I have no settings | php settings. Checking tools| web ui | php setting shows log size 0, image attached.

Never minding that this is the same password that has been in place for a while now, are you saying the plugin can't handle proper passwords? I'm a cybersecurity engineer and find that unsettling....

Tried mounting with the new procedure (image attached), no joy. Tried adding a new mount, and it cant see any shares (I swear the credentials are correct and working on every other device, and they haven't changed, the problem is in unraid or the plugin somewhere, lets not blame the smb server again...) I have made peace with the fact that unassigned devices is no longer capable of mounting SMB. I'm just going to have to engineer another array and let the windows workstation handle the migration.

its. not. the. drobo. We are troubleshooting symptoms I'm not having, chasing rabbits. this drobo has not changed configuration in forever, an all other devices on the network are currently using it. The mount was working in unraid for many months (years?). I'm sorry that the plugin doesn't work anymore, but the only thing that changed in this environment was that the unraid was rebooted, Ironically, because there is a historical issue with unraid leaving files on the share locked, and having to reboot unraid to allow anything else to access them.... My network and smb server are fine, and this is going in circles. Sorry if I sound frustrated. Is there a different forum where I might be able to obtain assistance with the plugin issue I'm having? Else I'll have to declare this plugin option unsuitable for my systems and reengineer the entire environment. Just sad that it worked for so long, and now it wont.

The name resolves, 100% ping test, there is no firewall between these devices, they are connected by a cisco sg110d-08 unmanaged switch. Samba on drobo configuration remains unchanged 'forever' and all other devices are able to use it. Drobo logs not available. Am I understanding these logs correctly that the 112 is due to a protocol mismatch, and unraid steps down to samba 1.0, and then actually gets a 512 error on samba 1.0? Whats a 512?

It is a drobo, that Ironically, I was going to use this mount to migrate off of soon (its a massive risk keeping so much data in an unsupported device anymore). Its been configured as-is for a very long time, and has been 'working' with this unraid since it was built a year or two ago, with the exception of unraid occasionally refusing to mount it (all other network devices can access the share as per usual). I use this mount for tdarr to reduce file sizes, and was just about at the point that I can start migrating drives into the unraid array proper in hopes of retiring the drobo (which is why I currently have an unlimited storage license and just a 1tb nvme to hold docker containers to do automated work on the samba share before migration, having reduced storage requirements nearly in half). If this mount continues to not work anymore, I'm going to have to rethink the entire approach to the project, and have to flip it on its head, offering a share from unraid, and using the windows workstation to move files between 2 shares, which is BW inefficient, and will nearly double the transfer time I've calculated at 2 weeks up to nearly a month.... Good times.... Not a 'normal' use case, I know, but if they were all the same, it wouldnt be any fun!

The nics are as they have been since the installation of unraid in the before times. The network remains unchanged, and doesn't explain why every other application is fine, but mounting has been a pain, always. Even when going through the steps to add it as new, and its discovered, and that lights up the mount button, so seemingly it now knows where to find it, it times out..... What is the tolerable delay in a dns request for this plugin? I'll fire up a packet analyzer and see how long its taking, but the IP's are permanent reservations, and haven't changed literally in years.... (looks like dns requests from unraid to the dns for names inside the room are coming back approx 1ms) There is no configurable router or firewall between this unraid and this storage device, they are on a 8 port cisco dumb switch (SG-110D-08) with the computer used to access them both (this computer still has no issues with that storage device or access to the unraid, suggesting all three have good connection to that same switch) with one port to uplink to a different room (and eventually out to the world, I'm using that link to write this message actually). This device has been power cycled multiple times in troubleshooting this event. Based on your feedback that you believe this is network related, should I open a support request over in general, and what should I tell them you think the network issue is?

Fingers crossed... thank you! ud_diagnostics-20240808-085840.zip tower-diagnostics-20240808-0857.zip

Hello all.... I am plagued by the SAMBA mount issue, and it has me offline since yesterday. I swear on 3 decades of sysad that the credentials did not change, that all other systems are able to see the share, that there is network connectivity between unraid and the share, etc. My great error was daring to reboot my unraid machine, which I always fear to do, because samba is always an absolute battle to mount... is it set to auto mount? yes. Has it ever in the history of ever managed to auto mount? no. Typical workflow is to add new samba, scan to discover shares, and when it finds the share as an option, cancel it, and there's a 25% chance that the mount button lights up, else try again over and over until it does. Well, this time that isn't working anymore. The mount button is active, and it just keep timing out. I'm about at my wits end with this (it wasn't a long trip.... ), and throw myself at the mercy of the community to beg assistance before I have to purchase a different solution, but I cant keep living like this, its killing production.
