THANKs for your hard work, I finally go Raspyfi 1.0 final installed and webradio Works fine, but I am having some serious issues with mounting my NAS… I'm not really sure what I am doing wong and I don't really know how to troubleshoot (I'm not really a Linux Expert)..
In Windows, the sharename my music is located at is \\192.168.1.120\music … I am then asked for user/pass which is admin and a password…
My config for adding the Mount is:
Source name: Flac
IP address: 192.168.1.120
Remote directory: music
Username: admin
Password: (password)
When I save this configuration, I get a message that the DB is updating, but I never get anything but a red cross on the NAS Mounts list and the Mount never appears in the browser…
I have also tried to set the source name to a sub-folder (e.g. music\Aerosmith) but with no luck.. 
Can anybody help me..
Just wait for the database update to finish…
And refresh the mount page, the cross should turn green if everything is ok.
Let me know
How will I know when the database update is finished? 
or any idea how long it will take to scan 250gb FLAC files?
Cheers
Christian
this is utterly frustrating.. I've tried everything… well, all I can think of… there must be something wrong with the way I'm adding the share .. it's working fine in xbmc, but I just can't get anything to work in raspyfi.. are there any logs or anything I can check what is wrong with the share I am mounting?? I've tried adding a share with just 2 mp3 files which shouldn't take hours to scan.. but I'm never getting the green okay sign on the mounted share…
The red cross on the NAS is a bug. Try to go to browse tab after saving your NAS share, then refresh the page… You should see it !

I've tried this, but the NAS share is completely empty – also, when I restart the mpd service, I only have the WEBRADIO folder available…
any ideas or any way to debug?
further info:
When I save the NAS mount, I get the msg: "mount point added – update DB in progress" but I don't really if anything really happens…

Greetings Mikelangeloz and others,
I too have had the EXACT same problem as Chriz has reported here. I followed the same steps with same results. Since i had such excellent results with prior version of raspyfi (thanks everyone), i want to try and get this new version working. I am not a linux expert, but I used the earlier raspyfi directions (which are vanished!) to get my NAS mounted in prior raspyfi by editing the /etc/auto.nas file successfully. It worked perfectly! But in the new version, I used GUI to configure my same NAS drive mount several times (just as Chriz did) wihout any success. I decided to SSH into the pi to see what auto.nas file looked like and this is what it said all on one single long line:
"Music -fstype=cifs,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,iocharset=utf8,rsize=2048,wsize=4096,cache=strict,username=,password= ://192.168.1.1/Pokey/FLAC"
That directory pathname is exactly the same as what i used in earlier raspyfi auto.nas file. I also eliminated password requirement to make things simple.
Does anything look wrong here? Is there any reason my NAS worked with old raspyfi but not new? Nothing else in my network has been changed….any suggestions welcome
For everyone with non working NAS
Please set up your NAS, then reboot the PI with the reboot control in system settings. Report if that is working.
Also, for users who are able to do SSH please launch this:
sudo /etc/init.d/autofs restart
then go to /mnt/NAS
cd /mnt/NAS
then ls
you should see your folders listed if everything went allright
Let me know
With my limited linux knowledge, I ssh'ed and tried the command dmesg which gave me this output which I'm pretty sure is raspyfi's attempt to mount the share…
[ 167.819955] CIFS VFS: Send error in QFSUnixInfo = -95
[ 167.830885] CIFS VFS: cifs_read_super: get root inode failed

I tried the SSH option, and ls shows the share in /mnt/NAS, but I still cannot access the folder from raspyfi…

With RaspyFi beta I got this exact error until I installed cifs-utils (see my thread in the forum).
It worked after this, but in 1.0 final it's not helping either

I missed that a reboot was needed so I did that just now – and now I can see my NAS files in /mnt/NAS/
However, the entire NAS part is gone from the webgui now… I only have the WEBRADIO link left there.

Same here. Can see the folder but cant ls its contents.
looking at dmesg I also get the next message:
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -6

I had to click update MPD database once, and after this the NAS link re-appeared 
Well done!
For those of you having problems with NAS, thanks for your feedbacks. These are helping us to point out the bug. Please continue reporting your problems.
Try also this:
after adding your NAS source, reboot the Pi and go to system , update mpddatabase
let us know!
I was getting the following message when typing dmesg when trying to connect to my windows PC shared drive.
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -6
This was due to me inserting a leading / in the folder name. Removing it solved the problem.
————————
Now I'm trying to connect to my NAS and I get the following (-5 instead of -6)
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5
any idea what that means?

I have already tried that. Unfortunately it did not help me

It seems the thread you are referring to has been removed? could you send me the command line for uninstalling cifs-utils ?
Am I right that you made this work by removing cifs-utils and rebooting the system?
