CIFS: VFS: BAD_NETWORK_NAME

Hi all,

I am trying to map a network drive on my media server (Ubuntu22LTS, Samba 4.15.13)

I get this:

Code:

mount error(2): No such file or directory

Regards

 

SAMBA documentation has detailed instructions on troubleshooting procedure.
Using

Code:

samba BAD_NETWORK_NAME ip-number

with Internet Search Engines seems to show using IP-number is not working.
If you only have those two Linux hosts, using NFS or some other Linux network drive setup should be easier to setup that getting Linux hosts to use SAMBA.

 

Hi Thank you,

I reread the samba man again. I finally figured out that it's actually NOT the file path on the server, but the share server itself for the network IP. Been three days rereading that section.

Thank you again
