Problem mounting an old, old, samba server.

[arris69]

...
Is there anyway to do something similar for the TV?
I can't update the server's samba version, I'm afraid. (Sorry)
I've being thinking about using old busybox versions, but can't find a right one... and I'm not sure if it would work.
All smbfs mounts I've tried results on: "No such device", but the same command, using -t cifs connects but I think it don't let TV to play files.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

you need the smbfs kernel module not cifs.

hope you know we have public svn server

ummm... I didn't knew about it, and I'm afraid I don?t know how to use it either.
I searched, browsed... and got lost.
I think you mean that I need to download a smbfs.ko module (an armel compiled one) that I can copy to TV and load with
insmod /mtd_rwarea/smbfs.ko
But I can't find it (any link would be apreciated).
Or do I need to compile it? I don't have enought linux knowledge, I'm afraid.
I've managed to follow the "Setting up a native compiling toochain" how-to, but don't known how to use it for such thing (even if it is needed).

make a x at your firmware type

Hi, my firm is T-CHL7DEUC for a LE40B651T3

http://sourceforge.net/projects/samygo/files/ -> SamyGO Kernel Modules -> pick current SamyGO-KernelModules-<yourfirm>-svn_r234.tar.gz
hope your tvs mount support the -t smbfs option

No way. I've downloaded and copied smbfs.ko to /mtd_rwarea/
rmmod cifs.ko
insmod /mtd_rwarea/smbfs.ko
mount -o user=user,password=pass -t smbfs //server_ip/shared /dtv/usb/sda/mount_point
mount: Mounting //server_ip/shared on /dtv/usb/sda/mount_point failed: Invalid argument

Same comand with -t cifs argument an cifs.ko module running works, but with previously related problems

I've also tried with an alternative, and more complete busybox, also downloaded from SamyGO, copied to TV but with same results
/mtd_rwarea/bin/mount -o user=user,password=pass -t smbfs //server_ip/shared /dtv/usb/sda/mount_point
mount: Mounting //server_ip/shared on /dtv/usb/sda/mount_point failed: Invalid argument

Seems like module may work but busybox doesn't support the -t smbfs option, as you said.

Is there any way to get an older working busybox (smbfs seems to be deprecated) in order to support this argument?

Regards!

i think you need the smbmount from older samba package, but it is also possible that the smbfs module need some nls configuration/heper modules
i hope its not realy urgent
