Can't mount SMB remote share on XO installed on CentOS Stream 9

[SurtursRevenge]

OS Version: CentOS Stream 9 Node.js version: 18.20.2 Yarn version: 1.22.19

Server specs 8 vCPU 16 GB RAM

Issue when trying to add a smb remote in xo as remote repo ( Settings -> Remote) i get a "Unhandled remote type" error. The same share is working on the official XOA. So i assume there i a component missing in the install script that handles the smb mount on linux ?

Installation logfile remote.test { "id": "dcb02134-dd9a-456c-b1cb-5399548a5644" } { "message": "Unhandled remote type", "name": "Error", "stack": "Error: Unhandled remote type at getHandler (/opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202405081601/@xen-orchestra/fs/src/index.js:24:11) at _class2.getRemoteHandler (file:///opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202405081601/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/remotes.mjs:107:17) at _class2.testRemote (file:///opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202405081601/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/remotes.mjs:131:11) at Api.#callApiMethod (file:///opt/xo/xo-builds/xen-orchestra-202405081601/packages/xo-server/src/xo-mixins/api.mjs:366:20)" }

Hey,

cifs-utils pkg is installed to rhel variants which should be enough to handle SMB remotes. Can you confirm your XO installation is on the latest version? You could test mounting the SMB share manually on the server without XO involved which might reveal more details if there's indeed an issue with SMB remotes in general. This could be eq. SELinux issue, which is not a thing in XOA and this script doesn't (and won't) do any SELinux changes.

Hey,

xoa is the latest Release. This is a fresh installed and patched Server. Selinux is disabled for testing. When manual mounting the smb Share it works. Maybe some nodejs module is missing ?

Best regards

Do you have a change to test this with Debian to verify that this indeed only affects Centos (and potentially other RHEL variants)? You could use eq. the xo-vm-import.sh script here to quickly setup one.

Hi,

i setup a debian VM. There the mount is working, so it must be a rhel specific error

Hi,

today i updated to the latest version with your script on debian 12. Now the remote mounts are also broken on debian. I checked the apt logs and the way a yarn and nodejs update

I did some further testing on debian. When running as xoa user the Mount fails. When changing the Setup to run as root the Mount works again. Have to confirm this on CentOS later.

Do you have the USESUDO (and GENSUDO) option(s) set to true in this script's cfg file? Sudo is required for mounting when running as non-privileged user.

Please comment if this needs to be reopened after verifying if this happens with sudo configured properly as well.
