Hi,

One computer is connected via Asuswrt-Merlin-router (RT-AC87U). Exactly the same command is typed on the computer and on the router. This command works on the computer:


mount //192.168.1.99/DDWRT smbshare --verbose -t cifs -o "username=ftpuser,password=ftpuser"

But the exact same command do not work on the Asuswrt-Merlin-router, which results in this error message:

router:/tmp/mnt# mount //192.168.1.99/DDWRT smbshare --verbose -t cifs -o "username=ftpuser,password=ftpuser"
mount: mounting //192.168.1.99/DDWRT on smbshare failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
router:/tmp/mnt# uname -a
Linux router 2.6.36.4brcmarm #2 SMP PREEMPT Tue May 10 11:57:04 EDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

Can/could anyone please help/advice? I've tried everything - I don't understand why it doesn't work... I want to install entware/opkg on CIFS-share ( https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware#Optware_on_CIFS_-_Partition_in_a_file )... So I make a container file as ext2 and then install entware into this CIFS-mounted drive... I believe it should work, but I don't understand why it doesn't...
 
Hi RMerlin,

Thanks a lot, but I actually also tried that - same result:

wrt54g@router:/tmp/mnt# mount \\\\192.168.1.99\\DDWRT /tmp/mnt/smbshare/ --verbose -t cifs -o username=ftpuser,password=ftpuser
mount: mounting \\192.168.1.99\DDWRT on /tmp/mnt/smbshare/ failed: Resource temporarily unavailable


When I try this on my laptop, it works, however:

root@HP:/mnt# mount \\\\192.168.1.99\\DDWRT exchange --verbose -t cifs -o username=ftpuser,password=ftpuser
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.99,unc=\\192.168.1.99\DDWRT,user=ftpuser,pass=********


So it just don't work on the router (Asus RT-AC87U) and I have not idea why not (wrt54g is my administrator account, the same I use to login through the web-interface)... I also tried this command before trying to mount wrt54g@router:/tmp/mnt# echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI:

This gives:

wrt54g@router:/tmp/mnt# cat /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData
Display Internal CIFS Data Structures for Debugging

CIFS Version 1.65
Features: lanman
Active VFS Requests: 0
Servers:
wrt54g@router:/tmp/mnt# echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI


Still hope to get some good ideas/suggestion?
Thanks for any ideas...

Are you not missing the quotation marks, as per the example RMerlin gave?

I believe I tried everything and the quotation marks after option "-o" did not make a difference (I'll check in around 8 hours, but I'm pretty sure I tried everything including putting the "-o"-argument in quotation marks)... So I have no clue why it doesn't work or how to investigate this further...

Update: This is exactly what I tried:

wrt54g@router:/tmp/mnt# mount \\\\Syn\\DDWRT /tmp/mnt/smbshare/ --verbose -t cifs -o "username=ftpuser,password=ftpuser"
mount: mounting \\Syn\DDWRT on /tmp/mnt/smbshare/ failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

I think my "solution" was to erase my USB-disk on which entware was installed on. Then I re-installed entware and it worked again, I don't know if there are better solutions - not a good solution - but I think it worked for me.
