Hi everyone,
I want to start using rsync and have successfully done a tutorial copying files from one local folder to another. Now I wanted to do the same thing with a SMB share on a Windows computer on the network. I am using CHAOS CALMER with admin rights via SSH.
So the tutorial (https://bobcares.com/blog/rsync-from-linux-to-windows-share/ ) says I need to create a mount-point, then mount the Windows share, but I run in to problems here. I get "failed: No such device" . Unfortunately, I didn't find anything I could work with googling the problem, so I decided to create my own thread.
root@beta:~# mount -t cifs -o username=testUSER //192.168.178.41/testshare /mnt/share mount: mounting //192.168.178.41/testshare on /mnt/share failed: No such device
Of course the share exists and "testUSER" has full rights, the mount-point was created successfully.
Can you please help me get this sorted?
fwiw, do you need to enable SMB1 support in Wiindows? I believe it is disabled by default from Windows 10 onwards.

Thanks for the tip, I am aware of this and have enabled SMB1 for testing. Additionally, I tried Windows98 and XP which don't support anything above SMB1. Also, I messed with switching firewalls on/off but having said that, Win98 doesn't have a firewall either - still the same error "failed: No such device" .

I did a Wireshark to see if I get anything, but there is not even an attempt registered in the network stream. It seems that the error "failed: No such device" is not a response for a failed SMB-connection-attempt, but rather a local response like a syntax error / a typo or an internal problem.
Please help me!

Whilst prodding and testing, I left away the "username" in the mount-command and got a different error:
**"can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory"**
root@beta:~# mount -t cifs -o \\192.168.100.101\crossroads /mnt/share
mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory
Google tells me: Your Linux system's filesystem table, aka fstab is a configuration table designed to ease the burden of mounting and unmounting file systems to a machine.
I checked in the /etc of my system there is a fstab entry but it is a symlink pointing to /tmp/fstab
Does this mean, my linux needs this in order to mount an SMB ?
I am new to this and would appreciate any help!

Does this old Chaos Calmer have cifs-utils installed (mine doesn't). So I was able to replicate your issue.
opkg list-installed
opened 07:32AM - 18 Jan 15 UTC
closed 03:15PM - 15 Mar 16 UTC
Chaos Calmer trunk@43982
arch. Lantiq , target device TP-LINK W8970 (LANTIQ->XRX… 200)
I'm sorry. This is not a real 'issue' but I've looked for cifs-utils (former cifsmount) without found it anywhere.
I need to mount into my OpenWRT a remote Samba share.
I've enabled in my build the kmod-fs-cifs and Busybox has BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MOUNT_CIFS = y
But I cannot mount any remote samba share.
```
mount -t cifs -o username=ambrosa,password=pass,rw "//192.168.1.70/ambrosa/" /mnt/cifs
```
always fails with "invalid argument". The same command run into a Linux Ubuntu PC works fine.
I've tried with many variation without success.
Perhaps do I need the cifs-utils (former cifsmount) ? But it's not anymore in repo.
I'm a bit confused....

Also check the that any Samba components are installed at all. Openwrt does not include samba server or client components by default
And upgrade to a supported version CC is very old and has known security issues.

Hi all!
unfortunately i need to stick with CC it is not possible in my setup to change that, so I need to install anything necessary. Here is the OPKG list for you - please let me know what I am missing. I appreciate your help and guidance in this, it is very important for me to get this one up and running:

Bill:
cifs-utils
ubus call system board
Run the above command to find your version of CC and target; then navigate to the Index
https://archive.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/
Choose your target: My target is Kirkwood
EXAMPLE MINEkmod-fs-cifs_3.18.20-1_kirkwood.ipk]kmod-fs-cifs_3.18.20-1_kirkwood.ipk
Transfer this file over to your OpenWrt system with WinSCP into the /tmp
opkg install /tmp/"The_CIFS_File.ipk"
If this still does not produce a given solution; I'm out of ideas .

this is what i use on V21 & V22
opkg update
opkg install cifsmount rsync
mkdir /mnt/smb
mount -t cifs '\\PC\Share' /mnt/smb -o username=UserName,password=PassWord,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777
rsync -av '/mnt/smb/' '/mnt/sda1/smb/' --delete
still won't do file names with special characters tho

Thank you for your comments - I did some digging and found that my device has BusyBox v1.30.1
[x] mount (23 kb)
So do I already have CIFS support on board?
Thank you for your ongoing support!
