Why is Volumio picky with USB drives and SBM mount query

This is more of a query than help, I’m running Volumio on an old Raspberry Pi 2 I had laying around. Initially I had no issues mounting a USB stick, but eventually it stopped working. Reformatting the stick didn’t work, nor did re-installing Volumio multiple times. The USB stick still working on many other machines, just not Volumio.

I ended up deciding to set up a network drive from my router using the same USB stick, I couldn’t mount it from the UI but using shh worked with:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=,vers=1.0 //192.168.1.1/MSCDRV /mnt/NAS

However, “\192.168.1.1/MSCDRV” still shows in the UI and not mounted. It doesn’t seem to matter since Volumio can address the drive that shows as mounted via SSH. I’m just wondering why this it is so picky with USB drives and the UI shows an unmounted network drive.

PS: I ended up adding that line to /etc/fstab because I couldn’t get the mount to work via the UI.
