Suffered a cifs mount problem the past days.
Solved by now, but the way I solved that is pretty tricky.
Problem was that my password seems to have chars in it which cause the mount command string formed from within the entries in the GUI to fail.
What worked in the end was to add the password in the form
which is pretty uncommon since a password on it’s own could also contain single-quotes.
And since one should enter the password on it’s own I think the code should get adjusted so that any password entered from within the GUI should get surrounded by singlequotes when creating the mount commandstring.
Still unsure, since I must add it to next to every similar software such as Volumio.
Simply because I suffer the very same error on runeaudio, O!MPD, Moode and others.
Means all these developpers invented an identical problem? Petty unlikely if you ask me.
Might be that there’s a well known rule saying … if ever prevent using a … char in passwords.
You know these X-nerds writing something such as “this_is_the_best_ever_way_for_a_filename”, since when being introducted to an X operating system they were given keyboards with space and shift keys removed.
I’m far from being familar with linux so I better wait until some more back me up in saying “correct” this shouldn’t happen and should be reported.
