February 24, 201412 yr Need some help here please. So my unRaid server is named "Server", I have created a directory at /media/storage in the ubuntu Vm but I cannot for the life of me get the unRaid shares to mount. I have installed samba and cif utils. Kryspy
February 24, 201412 yr I was able to mount an unRAID share on a Ubuntu VM that I'm testing. What command are you using to mount it and what error message do you get? Also, how do the unRAID shares show up on a Windows machine (if you're using one, a.k.a. //server/share)? Have you seen this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently ?

February 25, 201412 yr I took a look at that page and tried those examples but no go for me. I am accessing from OSX on an iMac. Kryspy This is all over these forums, maybe a quick search? Make sure you have smbclient (or whatever ubuntu uses) and have created /mnt/unraid before adding this to your /etc/fstab. //10.0.0.2/Media /mnt/unraid cifs rw,guest,uid=alex,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0
February 25, 201412 yr .......I am accessing from OSX on an iMac. Are you able to connect from your iMac to the shares you've set up on the unRAID server? It's usually (Command-S) type in smb://unRAID-Server-Name/sharename. The principle is the same connecting from the Ubuntu VM to unRAID. Are you able to ping the unRAID server from the VM, by name or IP address? Do you have any other devices that offer shares via SMB? Maybe you can try connecting to them? FWIW, on my unRAID-6/Xen setup I'm using NFS to transfer stuff between the VM and unRAID. There had been some messages about NFS problems so I tried making the switch over to SMB and got it working. But I didn't like the boot delay with the VM echoing error messages because the network wasn't ready. So I went back using NFS and autofs (automount). I'm running SAB and Sick on the Ubuntu VM and "so far" I haven't had a problem. But, I'm mainly testing and the workload is light. And while we're on the subject, the fstab "iocharset=utf8 caused error messages on the UbuntuVM (13.10) like it didn't know the character set. So I added all the junk to make that work and still got error messages "iocharset utf8 not found."
February 25, 201412 yr Author Oh yeah unRaid shares work in OSX no problem. I didn't really give this alot of attention as I am kind of waiting for beta 4 and using plugins in the meantime. Kryspy
