Homoran Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm not sure whether this is the correct place. Sorry if it isn't and please move it to where it belongs - thanks! The problem is: in our community (forum.iobroker.net) came up problems with mounting to a nas by cifs. ioBroker is a smart home management, and a new module ("adapter") has been designed to provide automated backups to a nas. in most cases this works fine, but on some platforms with armbian it fails with the message: cifs filesystem not supported by the system I'm not that linux crack, but i tried to find out what could cause this, I found at this site https://www.linuxquestions.org/question ... 175593855/ some help. In all versions the message mentioned above occured /proc/filesystems didn't contain cifs in the versions the backup worked, cifs was included. At the moment we have confirmed it at orangePi plus2e (ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 4.14.4-sunxi) and I could reproduce it on a Rock64 (nightly Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 4.4.131-rk3328) ( I know it's nighly!!) The platforms will have different age of images, and the users will not have updated/upgraded It seems that the problem occurs only at Ubuntu based images (cifs-utils already installed and at newest version), not at Debian based. on A Tinkerboard Ubuntu image (Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS 4.4.120-rockchip) all is ok, so it is not at all ubuntu images. calling: sudo modprobe cifs on my rock64 installation, the response was modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:586 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/4.4.131-rk3328/modules.dep.bin' modprobe: FATAL: Module cifs not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.131-rk3328 Is this a common issue and known? And the more imortant question: What can be done? thanks for every help in advance Rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homoran Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hi TK, thanks for the fast response! I'm not knowing what I'm doing http://ix.io/1kLX Is this what you wanted to have??? Greetz Rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it succeeds then another time 'sudo modprobe cifs' would be interesting. On Rock64 the cifs module should be built as module and therefore modprobe should work. Unfortunately our settings are not consistent accross kernels: macbookpro-tk:kernel tk$ egrep "CONFIG_CIFS |CONFIG_CIFS=" * | grep -v 'CONFIG_CIFS=m' linux-mvebu-dev.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-mvebu-next.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-mvebu64-dev.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set linux-mvebu64-next.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set linux-odroidc1-next.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set linux-qcomlt-default.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set linux-rockchip-dev.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-rockchip-next.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-s5p6818-default.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set linux-sun4i-default.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-sun5i-default.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-sun7i-default.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-sun8i-default.config:CONFIG_CIFS=y linux-udoo-default.config:# CONFIG_CIFS is not set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homoran Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 In the meanwhile something happens. we do not know what and why but.... a lot of reboots and tries later it works (at both installations) many times I did a reboot and immediately looked into /proc/filesystems -> no cifs. tried to install cifs-utils -> already latest version trying to mount with mount -t cifs -o user=meinUser,password=meinPasswort,rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0 //192.168.178.123/Backups/ioBroker/Rock01 /opt/iobroker/backups always failed. Changing mod and ver no success. But suddenly it worked. looking into /proc/filesystems -> cifs included at the last row. And all went well On the OPi install a try to change the smb package via armbian-config at 3.-Party-Software didn't help. the apt purge cifs-utils and apt install cifs-utils again helped. At that point all went well again. Thank you for your help. I personally do not like healing by speaking a spell - I would like to know what went wrong. In the next days I will look at my Installations whether I can find another System with this Issue. My yesterday newly installed OPi+2e with ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.18-sunxi went well. Or will it make sense to try to find anything in the (now working) Installation?
