I am getting error 112 host is down when mopidy tries to connect to my smb share on a Synology rt2600’s usb attached drive - //SynologyRouter/usbshare1/mediafolder/music. I have 3 pi’s running osmc connected to that share, so I think that it is running and that I have the address entered correctly. I have tried embedding the address in quotes, using the ip address, and using a trailing / - to no avail. I can access the files via the router’s dlna service (if that helps at all). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
There’s a fix for that. Login via ssh and run the following command
wget -O /opt/musicbox/startup.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pimusicbox/pimusicbox/develop/filechanges/opt/musicbox/startup.sh
Then add the following new config setting under the existing mount settings in /boot/config/settings.ini.
mount_options = vers=1.0
1.0 should work but you may find you need to be use 2.0. Seems to depend on your SMB server.

I was having the same issue while connecting to a windows home server 2011 share, and your instructions did solve it!
Thanks.

well… shoot… that did resolve the error 112 issue, but now I’m getting a no such device or address error… you don’t have to specify port do you?
Not that I know of. I really hate samba. Can you try running the mount command manually and append -vvv so it prints a more verbose error? I.e.
mount -t cifs -o ro,vers=1.0 //your/server/share /mount/network -vvv
hrm…

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Running the same command on my test setup I see my server host (xps13) has been correctly resolved to it’s ip address (192.168.1.66). Yours seems to think it’s at 127.0.0.1 which is the local machine and I guess is maybe why the the unc value seems to be a local path (\blah instead of \\blah).

Some more info would be really useful.
apt-get update && apt-get install dnsutils smbclient
dig SYNOLOGYROUTER
nslookup SYNOLOGYROUTER
smbclient --list SYNOLOGYROUTER --no-pass
Can you just confirm if it still fails even when you specify the server IP address i.e.
mount -t cifs -o ro,vers=1.0,ip=IP_ADDRESS_OF_SYNOLOGYROUTER //SynologyRouter/usbshare1/mediafolder/music /music/Network -vvv
And regardless of the above success/failure, one last more thing to try if you don’t mind:
sed 's/name resolve order/;name resolve order/' /etc/samba/smb.conf -i
reboot
Then retry the normal mount command again when it comes back up:
mount -t cifs -o ro,vers=1.0 //SynologyRouter/usbshare1/mediafolder/music /music/Network -vvv

So what exactly is synologyrouter? A synology nas or something else? What OS is it running? It’s odd that it returns 127.0.0.1 as the nslookup result but maybe that’s allowed and its up to the client to figure out that actually means 192.168.1.1. To me that seems a very odd thing to do but I’m no expert in this.
Did the last command succeed? The one before it is using the wrong path (should be /music/Network).
It is a router, a Synology 2600ac, with a couple of attached usb drives. I think the command worked… I can rerun them and capture the output this time…

Please substitute mount/network for /music/Network. Only the mount command needs to be rerun.
I found a load of Google results for synology owners struggling with their routers resolving their hostname to 127.0.0.1. I wouldn’t want my router doing that but if you don’t have problems with your other machines then it seems unfair for me to blame it on that.
It would be interesting to learn what mount command those osmc boxes are successfully using. Considering the above, I can’t see how they can be using the hostname. If you login to one of those and just run mount it’ll display the parameters.
Thanks again so much for your help.

You are still using the wrong path in many of those test commands above, it must be /music/Network, there should be no confusion with that part of the command. When you are getting that wrong you are getting the error message “No such file or directory”, which is not the “No such device or address” error we are try to chase down here. Please run the command below exactly:
mount -t cifs -o ro,vers=1.0,ip=192.168.1.120 //SynologyRouter/usbshare1/mediafolder/music /music/Network -vvv
I would expect the above to work and I would also expect //192.168.1.120/usbshare1/mediafolder/music to work too. Looks like OSMC is using another method.
ok… sorry about that.
