I already did that before.
This what I get after typing volumio:
rob@rob-hp:~$ sudo ssh 192.168.0.249
[sudo] password for rob:
root@192.168.0.249's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
root@192.168.0.249's password:
And this without sudo:
rob@rob-hp:~$ ssh 192.168.0.249
rob@192.168.0.249ās password:
Permission denied, please try again.
rob@192.168.0.249ās password:
ssh volumio@192.168.0.249
Yes just tried and still permission denied
then you either are typing the wrong password or didnāt enable ssh.
please place a screenshot of your attempt as it should just work.
Ok, after a factory reset I tried again.
See screenshots.


Hey @robg,
Your command:
ssh 192.168.0.249
is simply and plain wrong.
You are continuously ignoring @Wheaten instructions and until you doing this you will not succeeded.
Before ip address add user: volumio. As such the command will be:
ssh volumio@192.168.0.249
Kind Regards,
Iām done here. Youāre not following the instructions Iām giving you.
ssh volumio@<ip-address>
I can think of better ways to spend my free time.
Ok fair enough and thatās me done with volumio now. Anyway I did follow the instruction here and now I am in volumio.

volumio@volumio:~$ ls -als /mnt/NAS/TrueNAS
ls: cannot access '/mnt/NAS/TrueNAS': No such file or directory
run:
ls /mnt/NAS
as your log shows the folder TrueNAS which seems to not excist
volumio@volumio:~$ ls /mnt/NAS
Music
volumio@volumio:~$ cd Music
-bash: cd: Music: No such file or directory
volumio@volumio:~$
That is strange !! In Volumio sources the music has this path:
\192.168.0.42\Music
There are now 14 artists listed in Music now
run:
ls -als /mnt/NAS/Music
And list the output here.
Also confirm if the listing match what you see in Volumio
That looks better:
volumio@volumio:~$ ls -als /mnt/NAS/Music

No it doesnāt match what I see in volumio, as volumio is only showing 4 artists now!
Should I chmod or something
This is a problem on your NAS or the credentials used to mount the NAS in Volumio.
This is not within the scope of community support.
Everything is owned by root and Volumio has no access to the folders, as all folders show 2 in the 3rd column (is the directory count itself(.) = 1, Parent(ā¦) = 2), so there is no accessible content for Volumio.
what happens if you run:
ls -als /mnt/NAS/Music/ABC
Well I have no idea why the user and group are both owned by root, because in TrueNAS the permissions are set to everyone with Full permission as per screenshot:
volumio@volumio:~$ ls -als /mnt/NAS/Music/ABC
total 0
0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jan 24 19:49 .
0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jan 31 12:52 ..
0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jan 24 19:05 ABC-Abracadabra-Reissue_Expanded_Edition-WEB-2005-MARR
0 drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 0 Jan 24 18:26 ABC-The_Lexicon_Of_Love-Remastered-24BIT
Pardon me for saying, but I am not new to volumio, as I have been using it for many years without any problems, and I donāt know why something has changed the owner and group to root, when in TrueNAS it isnāt.
I googled this problem and it turns out that it is samba which changes the owner and group from what I have in TrueNAS to root in volumio as a share. So basically Iām in a no win situation.
Thanks anyway for your time
Youāre not in a noāwin situation. Samba doesnāt arbitrarily āchangeā ownership, it maps permissions based on how the share is configured. If your TrueNAS dataset uses permissions that donāt translate cleanly to the Volumio side, Samba will fall back to the user itās running as.
If you want to fix it, youāll need to adjust the share settings or the UID/GID mapping. Itās not a Samba bug.
You should start paying attention to what people write and try to support you in their free timeā¦
Ok then please tell me where to adjust UID and GID settings , in TrueNAS or volumio.
I have created shares on a linux computer and used UID= 3000, GID=1000, so can you advise please.
Thanks
On my NAS I created a user volumio1 with a password and R/W access to the Music folder.
Iām connecting to the share (using the mount option in Volumio) using that same user and credentials.
Since youāre on Windows, youāve probably copied files to the NAS at some point, so make sure the permissions on those files are set correctly and applied recursively.
No, I am using Linux mint and have done for the last 8 - 10 years.
Out of interest what NAS are you using, as Iām using TrueNAS Scale 25
Iāll look at doing the same when I have more time.
Thanks
