You can now mount SMB/CIFS on ChromeOS
- c0nsumer 11y agoSpecifically, SMB/CIFS, not just shares from Samba (a specific implementation of an SMB/CIFS server).
- ron0c 11y agoYes, you are correct, title changed to reflect this.
- RodrigoT 11y agowhy not follow the smbnetfs or fusesmb and create a whole tree for all the shared discs on the network?
- pgrote 11y agoHas anyone gotten it to work? I've tried connecting to shares on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 without luck.
- ron0c 11y agoIt appears that some it is rather particular with the dialect of SMB at the time: https://github.com/yoichiro/chromeos-filesystem-cifs/issues https://github.com/yoichiro/chromeos-filesystem-cifs/issues
- mbreese 11y agoIt's been a while since I messed around with SMB/CIFS on Windows servers, but IIRC you can force the server to downgrade the version of CIFS it will support. I remember having to adjust a server that needed to support older clients. Based on the comments from the post, it sounds like this is the problem. A quick Googling turned up these: Information about CIFS dialects: http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2012/06/06/windows-server-2012-which-version-of-the-smb-protocol-smb-1-0-smb-2-0-smb-2-1-or-smb-3-0-you-are-using-on-your-file-server.aspx http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2012/06/06/window...
