Network Share with FreeNAS SAMBA

[jangxbanger]

I am running motionEyeOS version: motionEyeOS 20180627 I am using the following board/model: Pi Zero W 1.1. I am using the following type of camera: Pi Zero W Camera Module My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via:Wifi

Hello, I'm attempting to add a network share to my MotioneyeOS. The Share I have setup is a Samba share from me FreeNAS server. I have verified it will mount in other unix distros as well as a windows machine. I have allowed guest access and have attempted with my credentials to mount the drive but it just will not mount.

I have attached a few screenshots please let me know if you need anything else from me.

The output of "mount -a" tells you that there is no directory such as /home/jangadmin/mnt/Camera. As you verified yourself with "ls /home" you can clearly see that there is really no directory.

Please create the directory first before mounting it.

mkdir /home/jangadmin/mnt/Camera

Also you don't need to save your files to a network share when you have already mounted it in your filesystem. Just point your save location to the mountpoint. ;)

Let me know if it worked out for you!

Also consider creating the ".smbcredentials" file in your home directory instead of writing your plain text credentials in the fstab file.

vi /YourHomeDirectory/.smbcredentials

username=<username> password=<password>

Save and set correct permission

chmod 600 /YourHomeDirectory/.smbcredentials

In fstab

//<server>/<share> <mountpoint> smbfs credentials=</path/to/.smbcredentials> 0 0

@RZFX @ccrisan I'm unable to make any directories due to it being a read only file system
