Solved SMB problem with new router

[maghuro]

On my old RT-AC86U, I had a script that mounted a folder of my QNAP on router, and then rsync between that QNAP folder and another folder in the router. Everything worked flawlessly.

I switch today to GT-AX6000, copy pasted the entire script (none have changed, neither credentials of qnap), and it didn't work.

The command being used is:

mount \\\\qnap.domain\\Backups\\GT-AX6000 /tmp/mnt/QNAP230 -t cifs -o "username=USER,password=PASS" -o vers=3.0

On the GT-AX6000, the output is:

mount: mounting \\qnap.domain\Backups\GT-AX6000 on /tmp/mnt/QNAP230 failed: Permission denied

I double checked login and password, I searched the web, no success. I installed mount-utils and tried, the result was different but no success:

mount: /tmp/mnt/QNAP230: bad option; for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program.

Can someone help me to figure out what am I doing wrong?


Edit: solution, see post #9

Remove the mount-utils package as it will conflict with the router's built-in commands.

Do you have Samba enabled on the router?

Removed.

Samba server disabled. I tried to enable it, for sake of testing, and same error.

Leave the Samba server enabled and sharing something. Then reboot the router and try again.

Same issue

Strange. Might be a regression bug in the 388.x firmware. Try using vers=2.1 or vers=2.0 instead.

The latest builds are missing a kernel module. @RMerlin commented on the same issue in another thread. I am trying to find the post/kernel module at the moment. The module is in the /lib directory somewhere, I just need to to remember what it is.......

Found it.....

Try adding modprobe md4 before your mount command and see if that resolves your issue...

I had the same exact issue. Moving from an AX88U (fw 386) to AX88U Pro (fw 388).

As @Jeffrey Young said, simply add:

/sbin/modprobe md4

As the first line in your /jffs/scripts/services-start file.

Wow, so simple?
Let me try that later in home. Thanks!

Well, I couldn't wait and I used wireguard to connect and test it

It did the trick!! Thank you all for your help. I was going nuts yesterday....
