Network Drive is detected but its contents are not shown

[rograjo]

Hello everybody.

My name is Robert, I’m from Spain, this is my first message in this forum, and I’m looking for some help or advice.

This week I’ve purchased a Rpi 3 B+ where I attached a IQaudIO DAC+, and installed Volumio. USB drives and hard drives (self and externally powered) are detected and work perfectly when they are plugged directly to any of USB ports of the Rpi. The problem comes when I try to attach any of this devices to the USB port of the router.

After several attempts and having tried some configurations I’ve found on the Internet (thanks to all the community that is helping the newcomers as me!), I achieved Volumio to detect the hard disk drive mounted on the router, but surprisingly, Volumio doesn’t find any content in the drive.

I’ve searched the web and I haven’t found anyone with such a problem.

My router is a ZTE F680, commonly served by Spanish communication company Pepephone for optical fiber clients.

I can reach the external drive plugged to the router both by Mac and PC (by the moment no user and password required), with the next parameters:

Mac: “Finder menu > Go > Connect to server”, and typing “smb://samba@192.168.1.1/samba” (without quotations).

PC: going to Internet Explorer and typing the router IP “\192.168.1.1” (without quotations).

In both cases it appears a Finder/Explorer window with the contents of the hard drive and I can edit the contents from the computers.

Parameters in Volumio are shown in the next screenshot. As you can see the hard drive is found as a network drive:

But when I go to “Browse > Media Servers”, Volumio shows an empty window, like there where no contents in the hard drive.

The same happens when I go to “Browse > Music Library > NAS > musica”.

I’ve already tried several USB drives, self and external powered, with Fat32 and NTFS file systems, and it’s the same.

Has anyone any idea of what can be happening?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Attaching storage to routers has caused a number of people problems as reported on these forums. It often seems to be because the router doesn’t share the storage with the expected path. In your case it looks as though Volumio does actually “see” an apparently correct path. Firstly can you generate a system log (volumio.github.io/docs/User_Man … oting.html) to see if there are any obvious errors. Secondly, if you have access to the command line on your device, can you show the result of issuing a ‘mount’ command, and also of ‘ls /mnt/NAS/musica’ please?

Hello chsims1. I really appreciate the time you are dedicating.

As you advised me, I’ve made a system log. The results can be found in the following link:

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/xjQrUuw.html

I’ve also accessed to the command line of Volumio via SSH (I’ve used openssh), and these are the results:

I have to admit that all these code seems quite confusing to me.

I hope these result useful to you.

Thank you very much.

I would add the IP-address of the RPI to the trusted list in your NAS. It looks as if the RPI does not have permission to look into the folder.
On my NAS I can add the IP-address to my NFS/CIFS share options.

[chsims1]

Can you try changing your path of ‘samba\smb1_1’ to ‘samba/smb1_1’? Also, in the advanced settings, add ‘vers=1.0’

[audiolover]

have you managed to get a result?

[rograjo]

Hello again.

First of all I would like to apologize for the delay in my answer. The last 10 days have been really tough, I’ve been very busy and until now I couldn’t manage to try your proposals. Thank you for your answers and your patience.

I would add the IP-address of the RPI to the trusted list in your NAS. It looks as if the RPI does not have permission to look into the folder.
On my NAS I can add the IP-address to my NFS/CIFS share options.

I have no NAS but a ordinary external hard drive, so it has no IP trusted lists. I’ve also tried to configure the router where the external drive is attached, but with no positive results.

Can you try changing your path of ‘samba\smb1_1’ to ‘samba/smb1_1’? Also, in the advanced settings, add ‘vers=1.0’

This doesn’t seem to work. The result is the same as the previous configuration.

Anyway, I’ve plugged the external drive directly to the Raspberry Pi and it works perfectly (as expected). I’ve also managed to access directly to the external drive from my computer so, apart from the lack of speed during the files transfer, everything works fine for me.

Thanks again for your invaluable help and patience.

Robert.
