[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferika2705:
100% solved mounting of network shares Samba/CIFS on Galaxy

I solved my SAMBA / CIFS on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 V2

Infos to my device (important, because other CIFS.KO and Co. do not work with them!!!) You must have the right modules for you firmware version. Otherwise it will do not work!

SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 V2

Modelversion: GT-P5100

Basebandversion: P5100XXDLL2

Kernel: 3.0.31-1069185

SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 29 18:55:40 KST 2013

Buildnumber: JZO54K.P5100XXDMC3

Android version: 4.1.2

(This was the oficial German/French/... version for Europe for unbranded devices)

Module files i found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2088515&page=2

Direct links to the files: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1710219&d=1360209542

Configuration and HOW TO:

- Files loaded from above link into: system/lib/modules

- Changed the file attributes to 755 (i do not know if it was usefull, but i does it)

- Installed Cifs Manager

- Made directory: storage/sdcard0/cifs/nas2

- Turned my NAS server on (address 10.0.0.251 local)

- In the CIFS MANAGER settings:

cifs module load: yes

load per insmod: yes

path to cifs.ko: system/lib/modules/cifs.ko -> other modules may be added, ':' will be used to separe the modules

- In the CFS MANAGER - add share (or edit existing share - long tap on share name)

share path: 10.0.0.251/raidz2_main

mount point: storage/sdcard0/cifs/nas2

name: set your Samba access name

password: set your Samba access pasword

options: (nothing to set)

Then do short tap on the share in the CIFS MANAGER and it should be green! Long tap for edit (if not mounted). If mounted short tap for file manager over this share.

If cannot be mounted, controll all - look in the INFO from CIFS MANAGER, if the modules are loaded. Do not give SLASH or BACKSLAH character on begin or end of the parameters, like "/10.0.0.251/raidz2_main/" !!! both slash on begin and at the end are to be removed!

If nothing helps, may be, your *.ko modules don't have the apropriate version to your tablet firmware. You must looking around for in the internet. Sorry - may be someone can help you :(

PS: MOUNT MANAGER was instable - many crashes, if i trying to mount my NAS server. I know, they are thousend big files on it, but the settings made like described before working wery well, so i think it is better to use CIFS MANAGER! The MOUNT MANAGER give me other error to see - if i try to select the share from the names list, they give me bad address to see and told me, cannot find this share. Only manual entry of the address was ok. But one good thing is if you use MOUNT MANAGER - they have logging - and in the logs you can see, what of setting or *.ko module are not loaded and why!

Best regards, i hope this help someone to solve problems.

PS: I have tested it on Seagate Wireless Plus WiFi external harddisk drive with firmware from http://hackseagatesatellite.com/ It works fine, may be a little bit slow, but it works! In this drive i had changed the 1TB HDD against 128 SSD, so i have more battery lifetime and no problems with mechanical crashes.

The settings for this drive are here:

- Made directory: storage/sdcard0/cifs/plus

- Turned my Seagate wireless Plus on (address 172.25.0.1 - it is the default for this drive with Hackersatellite firm local)

- In the CFS MANAGER - add share (or edit existing share - long tap on share name)

share path: 172.25.0.1/seagate

mount point: storage/sdcard0/cifs/plus

name: set your Samba access name for this drive

password: set your Samba access pasword for this drive

... all others leave set like above. And it works! For details go here:
