Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

is there maybe a workaround possible by changing the config of smbd on the mac?
something to enable clear passwords which are used by smbfs?
seems smbd is buggy since some security patches:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199450
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5087
http://www.psx-scene.com/forums/official-sms-forums/58197-sms-with-mac-os-10-5-l eopard-post423475.html

as a workaround I have disabled the supplied smbd and installed samba3 (3.0.29) from http://samba3.darwinports.com/
now it works, so this is a bug in 10.5.3, hopefully fixed in the next update…

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar but shows up in computer

Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar and is unavailable to some apps (itunes, chrome). Shares do show up when browsing computer. Where should I start?
This started after upgrade to 10.7.3

Interesting short term solution - drag and drop share from finder->computer to sidebar. This only works short term - after reboot share will still not show in sidebar.

Unable to mount samba share file for xbox 360

I want to be able to stream music from a directory in my arch linux computer (xfce4) to my xbox using samba on a local network using ethernet cables and a router not connected to the internet. I've been able to get samba to startup and I see the folder "share" in my network tab in thunar, but I am currentlly unable to mount that folder. I haven't been able to get the xbox to recognize my arch computer or visa versa.
Here is the configuration I am running as of now:
#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global]
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
workgroup = XBOX
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = "Samba Server"
# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
security = user
[share]
comment = music for xbox
path = /home/ricky/Music
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0777
# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
I did a chmod -r 777 on the ~/Music directory already and I still haven't been able to mount it. I have read in the wiki that creating a /mnt/xboxshare directory, for example, would actually mount the share directory and allow the xbox to share. However, I would rather just use the directory I specified instead of creating another directory. Has anyone else experienced this problem or have any advice for me?
Here is some additional information:
I do have to input a password when I issue this command
$ smbclient -L \\RG_ARCH
Enter password:
Domain=[XBOX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.8]
Sharename Type Comment
share Disk music for xbox
IPC$ IPC IPC Service ("Samba Server")
rg Disk Home Directories
Domain=[XBOX] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.8]
Server Comment
RG_ARCH Samba Server
Workgroup Master
XBOX RG_ARCH

I was wondering whether it had anything to do with the network I was using. The router I am using can't access the internet and I am using the basic 192.168.1.X setup with 255.255.255.0 as the mask.
My computer has an ip of 192.168.1.2 and the xbox has an ip of 192.168.1.3. However, I am still unable to ping the xbox or even see it show up in the network. I did notice that whenever I am using another router that is connected to the internet, I can see other windows based computers in the network tab in thunar under "windows network"
Also, I do have a username and password associated with the samba setup.. so I assume maybe that has something do with it. I checked the permissions of the share folder and it was root:root with read and write permissions. I know samba is working fairly well.. but for whatever reason I can't get the xbox to connect even while it is on the same local network.

Windows machines unable to access smb shares

I know many people are having problems with smb on osx server, but my issues seems very basic, so I will try to ask for help here.
Basically, I have set up a single folder for sharing on a Mac Mini running OSX Mountain Lion Server. Directory services are provided by a WIndows 2003 server, and I have joined OSX Server to that, and am able to see all AD users and groups correctly. I have checked the boxes specifying I wish to share as afp, smb and webdav and also made shares accessible to guests.
Now, if I use a mac client, I can correctly browse the afp and smb shares, and the latter work via finder and smbutil as expected, including access via AD users, connection and file transfer.
If, instead, I use a windows client (I tried both Win7Pro and WinXP), while being able to ping the osx server machine, if I try to "explore" (entering \\hostname in explorer) the shares I get a "Network error: impossible to access ..." (approximate translation, sorry ). I tried both using the hostname and the ip address, always getting the same result.
If I try via prompt with "net view \\hostname" I get a System Error 53 (Unable to find network path).
Does anyone know if I am doing anything wrong?
Thanks
Christian

I have done some further testing, and I can report that occasionally, I am able to connect from a windows 7 professional machine by issuing the following command:
net use z:\\hostname\share /user:DOMAIN\username
mostly this command returns a 53 system error, but sometimes I am asked for the user's password and am then able to access the shared folder for a brief time.

Mount SMB share accessible by all users

Hello,
I aim to have a smb share accessible to all users.
I've tried to mount with mount_smbfs ou autofs, but each time the mount is only accessible to one user and no right to group or others.
This is what i've do with autofs :
in /etc/auto_master
/Volumes/Resources
auto_resources
in /etc/auto_resources
MyShare
-fstype=smbfs
://login:password@hostname/share
Then i enable the share with
sudo automount -vcu
When i try to acces the folder, it succeed but all the rights on all files in the share and the main folder it self become rwx------
The same occure with mount_smbfs.
How can i "force" the permissions of the shared folder to fit my need ?
Thanks

It sounds like you are talking about multiple users on a single computer being able to use the same mounted share at the same time.
As you have seen this does not work. Either each will get their own individual mounted copy, e.g. "/Volumes/Resources", "/Volumes/Resources 1", /Volumes/Resources 2" etc., or the others execept for the first user will be blocked. This limitation applies to both AFP and SMB.
However if you use NFS and do this before anyone logs in then it will be accessible for all users on that Mac at the same time.
NFS is still available in Mountain Lion.

[SOLVED] Suddenly unable to mount samba share using cifs

I have a home server running ArchLinux, hosting an SMB share. My client box is also ArchLinux, both are up to date, running Linux-ck 3.9.2-2-ck. Prior to rebooting both machines around twenty minutes ago, the share mounted fine for months.
Here is the extent of the "verbosity" I receive from mount:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
# UUID=71066ae2-40ec-4125-9db7-d04b6a04f712

//ARRAY/Array /media/Array cifs credentials=/home/xaero/.smbpasswd,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix,sec=ntlm 0 0
I have tried any number of different options on that final line defining this share now:
I have tried //array/array (which is what it was originally) and //ARRAY/Array (which is case-sensitive) as well as any combination of using my credentials file (which used to work) or user=,pass= as well changing my credentials file to use quotation marks around my password as it has special characters. I've also read of using sec=ntlm fixing mount issues, but in my case it did not. I'm kind of scratching my head here as passing --verbose to mount yields zero additional information... the uid and gid entries were necessary in the past to mount this share, however I have tried both with and without them, to no avail.
I rely on SMB in lieu of sshfs as there isn't a stable sshfs implementation for Windows users, which there are some on my network; I also find for whatever reason SMB happens to be faster.

I'm not exactly sure what fixed this... I looked at the configuration file to make sure I hadn't missed it being updated, and it was in the new format; everything setup correctly (I remember having to edit it not long ago to fix something, probably for the update which you mentioned) I reverted my fstab back to the way it was before (making backups is good) and restarted the smbd on the server numerous times... at some point it just started working again. I wish I had a more concrete answer for documentation sake, but I was literally just rebooting/restarting services in desperation with little to no config hacking between and suddenly things clicked. I'm also no longer running the sec=ntlm option..
Thanks for reminding me to check my config though, when I updated I had forgotten to enable user restriction (guest was enabled, and certain directories weren't user-specific)

Mount SMB share based on user name at Login

I'm trying to get an SMB share mounted at login for Users where the UNC path is based on the username. I have written a simple script to accomplish this:
set username to do shell script("whoami")
try
mount volume "smb://path/to/files/" & username
end try
The script works. I saved it as an application. I added that application as a login item for the group I want it applied to in Workgroup Manager. When logging in as a memeber of that group it shows up in the login items on the client as Unnknown Unknown and does nothing.
I then put the application on the client and added it as a login item locally and it worked fine.
How can I make this work via Workgroup Manager? I need to run a different script based on what group the user logging in is a member of. It doesn't even need to be a script if there is another solution to get shares mounted with different paths including the username of the user logging in. Thanks for the help. If anything is unclear please let me know.

how do you run this script on the client and save as an application?

WRT350N - V2.00.20: Write access problem to SMB share from Mac OS X 10.6.2

Hi everyone, i've got a problem trying to write a file on the SMB share of the wireless router WRT350N from a MAC OS X 10.6.2 Finder (but also from a Leopard).
I've got no problem neither reading from mac or writing from win.
I've tried to write by cp command from terminal without problem.
Sorry for my english and thanks everyone,
Mr Proc

Same issue on my WRT610N V2. I am using iMac Intel running 10.6.2. Error -36 prompted when copying files to the USB share disk from the Finder. Working fine when on PC running XP.
Another issue is DDNS can't report the router IP to DynDNS.com although it status that the update is successful and completed. After updated, the router's IP is still different to the IP shown on the DynDNS.com. I need to type the IP manually to the DynDNS.com
Hope the new firmware would fix these problems.
Thanks

Unable to access Airport Extreme under Mac OS 10.6.7

Strange problem. I'm able to access the Internet, but can't access my Airport Extreme using Airport Utility under Mac OS 10.6.7.

Did you power cycle the entire network? It's always a good idea after any update.
Try this, if you haven't already done so:
Power everything down on the entire network, order is not important
Wait a moment and start the modem first and let it run a moment by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Keep starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered back up

Strange behaviour of name used for desktop icon when mounting SMB shares

My iMac is joined to a Windows Active Directory domain. This works fine. User logins are setup to mount various Windows shares at login time using some custom scripts that I have written, invoked from an Applescript app that runs as a login item. Again this works very nicely. The one strange thing is as follows, and this is troublesome for me...
The sequence of commands used to perform the mount is:
mkdir /Volumes/mountpoint
mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /Volumes/mountpoint
This correctly mounts the share on /Volumes/mountpoint
but the desktop icon that appears as a result is called 'sharename' not 'mountpoint'. Why is this a problem? Well consider that one has the following shares that one wants to mount:
//Server1/System (will be mounted on /Volumes/Server1System)
//Server2/System (will be mounted on //Volumes/Server2System)
what I'd like to see are two desktop icons with names 'Server1System' and 'Server2System' but in fact I end up with two icons both called 'System' with no way to tell which is which other than actually opening one of them in Finder.
Anyone know
(a) Is this behaviour expected (i.e. by design)?
(b) Is there a way to control the name used for the desktop icon when mounting things this way?
Thanks!

But, to invoke your app you will need to include it, otherwise you get the error above
sometimes you call
http://host:port/blank/page.jsp
instead of
http://host:port/blank/faces/page.jsp
In the last one the Faces Servlet will get your request and locate page.jsp inside the faces context. If you don't include it then you get that error

Finder fails to mount SMB share, while Terminal does

I'm trying to mount shared NTFS partition from my desktop running W2000 at work to my MB at home, and can't make Finder to see it (Error -36 and mount_smbfs: negotiate phase failed: syserr = Operation timed out in the console). Teminal can mount it 100 times ina row, my wife's XP notebook next to me can mount it, but Finder can't. And I feel like I tried everything...
What else could I try - workgroup renaming, all possible spelling combinations, passwd security disable...darn, I'm running VNC to that mashine just to be able to tweak the server if needed...again for no avail...it's a bug with Finder and I can't find way around it...
What would you suggest?
MB 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Let me be more specific
W2000 SP4 server, MacBook client, trying to mount shared volume thru SMB
-on the same subnet (i.e. lappy next to the server on the same switch) both mount_smbfs and smbclient work OK
-from home smbclient is working, mount_smbfs does not (Err -36)
-from home my wife can mount the shared volume thru Network Neighbours on her XP notebook
-it does not seem to be TCP/IP related - all comp can make FTP or VNC to the server verywhere
-err log of mount_smbfs is "negotiate phase failed: syserr Operation timed out in the console", no idea is there a way to verbose mount_smbfs
-smb.conf looks basic...secure passwords=enable, no nsmb.conf
-W2000 SP4 sever is all default secure policies, running FTP server w/o any issues.
So is there a key on server...or the client which I have to tweak?
Thank you.

Mount smb-share from non-standard port

Mount SMB share

Hello, currently I'm running a osx 10.5 server setup with the "magic triangle", my server is an OD master and he's bound with AD, clients are bound with both. I'd like to setup the automount of personnal folder (smb windows sharing) for my users. Is it possible? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, not exactly what I was looking for...
If I replace mount volume with open location then this works fine for me. A finder window opens and displays the home directory
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://" & username & ":" & pass & "@" & server & share & username
end tell
Not content with this I now want to display the "My Documents" folder, which is within the username folder.
set docs to "My Documents"
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://" & username & ":" & pass & "@" & server & share & username & "/" & docs
end tell
When I run the script no volume is mounted. If I rename "my documents" in the user home folder to "mydocuments" then the volume is mounted as I require. So the issue is down to the space.
Any ideas how to get this to work with a space in the string?
Cheers

Mounting SMB shares

So OS 10.5 found my file server. It is listed in Finder under Shared. However when I try to connect to it with Samba username and password, it tells me "Sorry, you entered an invalid username and password."
I can connect fine from my Windows box. Any suggestions? I believe my smb.conf file is set for encrypted passwords.
I am running a Debian file server.
Ideas?
Thanks.

This doesn't seem to be working, however.
