[SOLVED] Mounting a WD NAS doesn't work anymore

Post by George16 »

A few months ago I asked this forum for help to mount my WD NAS to my Mint system (How to map a WD NAS?). I was grateful with all the help and the final solution that worked perfectly. But then, at once, the mount command didn't work anymore.

The command that worked was:

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.178.17/PCgeorge /mnt/shares/PCgeorge -o vers=1.0,username=George,password=yyyy,rw,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,nounix
Today the result is:

Code: Select all

Unable to find suitable address.
So my question is: can someone help me to find the solution?

I have only 18.3 and have just regularly updated Linux Mint. No idea whether there is a relationship with the problem.

run the mount command at a terminal again - then enter dmesg which accesses the kernel log. If you get an error 22 notification, and a verbal message about no dialect specified, you need to edit your /etc/fstab file to include the option vers=1

example: //192.168.0.101/public /media/wd cifs guest,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,nounix,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0 0 0

I didn't find any error notification.

The problem is solved.
I tried to map the NAS to a windows laptop and there was the same problem. So, obviously it was a NAS problem. When I did a reset/restart of the NAS the problem was gone! I only don't know what the cause was.
Thanks to all people who reacted.
