Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Mint Linux (using release 20.1 Ulyssa) and I'm trying to make a USB hard disk attached to my router accessible to my Linux via samba protocol. I wonder if anybody has a solution to this problem:
I can access the share from a Windows host as well as via Nemo interactively (see attached screenshot2.png). However, when I try to mount this share directory to a mount point and put an entry in the etc/fstab I see the contents of the share, but I get "unknown file types" when trying to access any of the directories (see screenshot1.png). For what it's worth, I have a Speedport Smart 3 router (provided by Deutsche Telekom) that only supports the old smb1 version, and - after some research I found out how to enable support for this legacy protocol in my smb.conf.
The relevant entry of my etc/fstab currently looks like this:
# Speedport router
//192.168.2.1/Share /media/NAS cifs auto,guest,vers=1.0,uid=stefan,gid=stefan 0 0
I also noticed that after mounting the share to my /media/NAS directory I can't access the contents of that directory unless I'm switching to root user (see screenshot3.png).
Does anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong or what else I can do for diagnostics?
Thank you in advance. Any suggestions are truly welcome.
Best regards,
Stefan
Edit: I just installed Nautilus as an additional File Manager - and it shows the same behavior. I can't access the files on the mounted folder, only when I navigate through the Network structure under Windows Netowk. So, I assume it is not specific to Nemo, but has something to do with access rights, permissions, sticky bits etc. in that /media/NAS folder.
