I already know that I’m the World’s biggest idiot, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to add the USB drive plugged in to my router as a Volumio Network Drive. Can someone please walk me through the set-up?
I can see and access the USB drive easily from Ubuntu’s Nautilus file browser. Which lists the address of the folder I wish to add as: smb://rtrusb/volume(sda1/music
[The LAN address is 192.168.1.1]
When adding a new drive: I give the drive a name; enter the address, set the path; select CIFS; add the username & password; save…
Then nothing.
I’ve tried every combination of address and path I can think of but still nothing happens.
I’ve tried that. On its own and prefixed with smb, http. I’ve also tried disabling and enabling authentication.
I should mention that the scan lists the usb alongside the other network devices. It even has the volume listed in the drop-down. Clicking this fills in the details. But this doesn’t work either. I just don’t get it. It works perfectly with both my PC’s file browser and with Kodi: openelec & libreelec.
If you have ssh or direct access to your Volumio device, then you could try manually mounting the NAS share … this will probably give give you some error information to go on.
sudo mount -v -t cifs //192.168.1.1/rtrusb/volume(sda1)/music /mnt/temp
Can you also report the results of the following please:
The manual mount gives me this: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(’
The smbclient provides this report:
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a]
Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but ‘client lanman auth = no’ or ‘client ntlmv2 auth = yes’
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Thank you for your help, but please don’t spend too much time trying to figure this out: unless you think it’s an important issue. I’ve decided to get a new NAS instead. Though a good deal cheaper, a usb drive plugged in to a router isn’t a reliable alternative to a proper network drive.
