Mount NAS using guest - Debian Buster problem

[castalla]

I've reliably used this in fstab for years:

//192.168.0.1/sda1 /mnt/hd1/ cifs username=guest,password=

I assumed this would also work for Debian Buster, but it just produces a mount error.

Any ideas?

I can't really add much, with my NAS I use NFS, and I stopped using a NAS about a month or so ago.

Thes are some notes I made when trying CIFS

A few changes appears to have happened over time:

You need to add "vers=1.0" statement (it currently defaults to a later version 3.0, which appears to be causing problems)

_netdev does nothing on CFIS file system, only works on NFS file system, so it does not create the required delay for thenetwork to activate

"user=" and "pass=" should now be "username=" and "password=" respectively (Updates to kernel)

Lastly, there is now a "Wait for network" box that that can be ticked in the Raspberry Pi Configuration Utility, that solved my mount at boot problem.

I got this from google search "Raspberry pi.org, Buster, CIFS"

Hope you both are well

What make / model is the NAS?

If it is available I'd try NFS also. Once you have it working it is pretty much flawless and very unlikely to be affected by NAS firmware upgrades in the same way as CIFS.

Thanks for the replies.

I've half solved the problem - this mount works (with vers- addition)

sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,guest,vers=1.0 //192.168.0.1/sda1 /mnt/hd1

I guess I can convert this to fstab format. I'll confirm later.

The 'NAS' is a usb on my router.

Yep. Spanish with Geordie accent ...

When we lived in Germany, a German friend ended up speaking perfect English with a Geordie accent!

Just to confirm the fstab script:

//192.168.0.1/sda1 /mnt/hd1/ cifs rw,guest,vers=1.0

works!

Thanks for the advice.
