I will give that a go, thanks!
[quote=“NotYetRated, post:27, topic:181206”]I also have the “df: /nas: Value too large for defined data type”. I am linking to my file server, something around 15TB now…
Any other options for this?[/quote]
Hi all, i got around the “value too large for defined data type” by simply deleting the nounix,noserverino comments in the akbooer script, after doing so I was able to mount the nas correctly and cleanly. Not exactly sure why it worked, maybe large file support is native now however just happy it works.
Hi
I’ve not checked my code for a while, but noticed when running ‘df’ my /nas mount is not appearing. Does anyone have any ideas? The share Backups is present on the NAS

Have you made any OS upgrades recently? I had to change the command line options I used in the CIFS mount a while ago. I’ll check what that was.
I’m no Unix expert, but would suggest that if df says it’s not mounted, then it’s not mounted.

Thanks @akbooer
Now that you mentioned it, my NAS has gone through a few firmware updates. The thing is I’d been focussed on my VeraPlus (and I only use this mount with my Vera 3) so have only just noticed it was not there…
I’ll be interested to see what your revised code is.
The target share to mount is //192.168.1.111/Backups
The command line is now:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.111/Backups /nas -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,sec=ntlmI found out somewhere that this works (for me, anyway.) Who knows why? It’s one of those Unix dark arts things.
You have to admire the ‘dark arts’ 
Thanks @akbooer, so that would make the code to be the following.

But sadly no joy with df, even thought it suggests it went ok in the log.

Too bad. Suggest you get it working at the command line level first. It’s apparently not a Lua / Vera thing.
Yep, and it’s not playing nice - it seems I may have bigger issues to sort out ???

I notice that I have a ‘/’ at the end of my device name for the mount, eg.
mount -t cifs /192.168.1.111/Backups/ /nas -o user=XXX,pass=YYY,sec=ntlmdoes that, perchance, make any difference?
Sadly not - but good thought - same error

Did you ever get this to work?

Let me know how you get on…
I tried this on my VeraPlus and ran it on test Lua. It failed
(I did change the last line to reflect my info)
First of all in putty I can only mount my cifs using… mount -t cifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Whisper /RT-AC87U -o user=xxx,pass=xxx,sec=ntlm
Could you give me another Lua code that can work with my actual mount command please?
EDIT: I just ran this in AltUi test lua and the return result was “[string “ALTUI - LuaRunHandler”]:3: attempt to call global ‘df’ (a nil value)”
This give you a clue?
Thanks

Where is the code? Is it all in Lua Test? It looks like you did not include the definition of the df() function.
To change the mount command string, just replace the ,nounix,noserverino with ,sec=ntlm

Sorry, Im not a coder so I don’t know how to include this df function. I just copied the code from the thread.
But since DY does not “find” my mounted folder “Whisper” anyway, I suppose it’s a moot point. Although I can mount my nas folder, (see previous post) , DY cannot find it to write to.
It was all in the code below, but if you didn?t copy ALL of the code then it might have been missing.
This is nothing to do with DataYours, it’s all to do with Vera. If a file system is accessible from Vera, then DataYours can write to it, given the right path. If the disk is mounted already, then there?s absolutely no need for this code.
Out of desperation, I deleted and re installed DY. I plugged in my same info in variables, and lo and behold, it is working. My external mount is being seen by DY and added 2 metrics for testing. But it appears all is working now.
Thanks for your help.
