Hi all.

Thanks for this wonderful app.

When I try to mount network share, it tells me it doesn't exist, I tried some options from first post, but no go.

But, I also read that it supports mount share from Astro or ES and since my network shares work via ES, how to mount it via ES to CIFS?

Thanks again in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] f3d0r:
Updated to v1.5

regards ;)
[Android Apps and Games] fuzijacz:
Thanks f3dor, now all is working perfect. Only thing is that sometimes it won't unmount share due to e.g. mvideo player running in background or estrongs, so I need to kill the tasks and then it unmounts fine, but I guess its the problem in those programs running in background.

Thanks for your work.

Wow, great,a new version of my favorite mounting tool. Thanks a lot for updating and taking care of our problems.

To bad kali compiled cifs and utf 8 into the lzma compressed cm7 bravo kernel just two days ago (:

Am thinking about adding cifs and nfs mount support to cyanogenmod in the future. But it's at the bottom of my to do list

can someone help please

ignore - confusing NFS with CIFS!
[Android Apps and Games] camalot:
The NFS file system type is different then cifs. I have had people asking about being able to load the nfs.ko file after compiling it for their kernel. I can't speak for CifsManager, but MountManager attempts to mount (currently) only as cifs, but i seen you said when you mounted it on your laptop, you use "nfs".
[Android Apps and Games] touchee:
got it all working. No problem with CIFS in the MDJ kernel. It was simply that I was trying to mount an NFS mount through CIFS. Fired up samba with the dir to be shared in the smb.conf and all suddenly worked!

neorouter and sharing over 3g/4g

I am trying to mount a shared folder from an xp desktop to my samsung epic (stock 2.1), using cifsmanager and neorouter over 3G/4G.

Neorouter network is working great with shares from between various desktop computers.

I get jammed up when attempting to mount the share on the android.

I configure a dynamic port forward on the android ap for the fileshares (445), then forward it to the target computer (long press).

Then I go into cifsmanager, and I believe this is where I am having problems. I enter in localhost:32973/My Documents. I also tried "10.0.0.1/My Documents" and "10.0.0.1:32973/My Documents" all with and without credentials, and also tried dropping the share.

Can anyone please help me out with this?

Thank you!

[Android Apps and Games] BKK87:
hey,

after installing a kernel with cifs support i could astemblish a connection to my smb share :-)

BUT

i also have the problems with the empty folders in astro, musicplayers etc..

only when i use Super Manager (with root access) i can see my smb shares on my android. permission of the mount folder is 777. but even with super manager i can not browse through the directorys. i only can see the "root"-smb-folders.

im not an expert, but is there maybe a user-permission problem when mounting the smb share? for example that the smb-shares are mounted only for root-user?

Hello there,

thank you very much for the great application. works great with windows 7 etc.

I am trying to mount my lan drive and it keeps giving me error saying "invalid argument" cannot mount etc etc.

The only difference I can see in W7 share and LANdrive share is it doesnt have a user/pwd defined which is not possible anyways in it. does that make any diff?

[Android Apps and Games] mad-murdock:
Try both things:

a) see.if you can connect to that share with another (windows) computer

b) make sure the rom you are using has cifs support. Stock roms don't have this feature. On dhd cyanogenmod 7 has it compiled ingo the kernel, others should have it as module somewhere under /system/lib/modules - search for cifs.ko there.

I guess it's one of the above points. Report back if I am wrong

[Android Apps and Games] mad-murdock:
You can not simply put the file there, since out must fit to the kernel. Did you check the sub directories for it? I also think leedroid should have it, but the last time I used it was over 3 month ago on desire classic. Sense simply is sense less (:

I am trying to avoid mounting my SMB share to my SDCard, but would like it visible. I figured that sending it to /mnt/cifs was a good idea and then setting up a symlink to it from the sdcard, but I can't seem to get that to work. Any ideas?

thanks for your app, f3d0r

so far it works quite well, although the video I'm streaming is stuttering a little bit

But when i want to browse through the mounted directory, Astro (and all other file browsers) show only empty directorys..

Someone an idea? :confused:

edit: permission of the directory folder is 777.

I'm not sure whether I have cifs support in my kernel - I'm running the Perception 10.4 rom, with thunderbird kernel... I don't have a cifs.ko, however I do see cifs-related stuff in my sysfs, and when I try to mount cifs, instead of getting the "device not found" error, I get "mount: invalid argument" (I get the same thing when I try to mount manually from a terminal). And when I do "load cifs module" in cifsmanager, I get no error. So it seems like I must have cifs built into the kernel, but for some reason its expecting different arguments.... any ideas why that would be?

Great program - works on X8 with load cifs.ko wia insmod.

Can You add option to load NLS_UTF8.KO before loading CIFS.KO ?

This will help solve the problem of non-English letters in the kernels without the support of UTF8.

Those *.KO-s can be founded or compiled (life cifs.ko).

"/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko:/system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko"

on 4pda that text is absend.

Xoom launcher support

First off, thanks again for the great app!

I've got it working on my Xoom, but the stock launcher still seems to be affected by the "Application is not Installed" bug. Is there any way to code you app to work around it (or anything that we can submit upstream to the AOSP to fix it)?
[Android Apps and Games] bazzix:
for those people that are confused and can't access their files from e.g. vplayer/rockplayer/[add any other app that runs without root permissions] etc, just use es file explorer, or just any other root-capable file explorer. Find your files in there and tap to open with your favorite app. It works.

I'm trying to get cifs working on my Hero running VillainRom and Evo3 kernel that has Cifs support as a module. However i can't seem to mount a network share, with or without CifsManager.

The cifs kernel module does load but when i try to mount a share it gives me "Invalid argument", that doesn't tell me much...

# lsmod
lsmod
wlan 418668 1 - Live 0xbf000000
cifs 214388 0 - Live 0xbf06c000
#
# mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.2.182/Volume_1 /mnt/cifs/NAS
mount -t cifs -o guest //192.168.2.182/Volume_1 /mnt/cifs/NAS
mount: mounting //192.168.2.182/Volume_1 on /mnt/cifs/NAS failed: Invalid argument

The CifsManager just gives me the busy animation that freezes my device for a 5 minutes and then unblocks and continues without giving me a message.

Who can give me a few pointers so i can debug or solve this problem?

@f3d0r or anyone else who has figured this out. I have been using this successfully since 2010, but now with the 1.5 release, I am unable to mount any device and get the above error. I know you point out that the cifs.ko, rom or kernel lacks support for the cifs manager if you receive this error. But I have only upgraded my software to 3.70.651.1 and did not change the kernel or cifs.ko.

I had several other programs that also allowed me to utilize cifs, such as "ES File Explorer". This worked before the software upgrade and stills works now with the same cifs.ko and kernel and rom.

I prefer cifs manager over all other programs so if someone could please assist me in correcting this I would appreciate it.

edit:

I found that the modified cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko had been wiped off my device when I upgraded the software.

So basically I followed a old post that helped me. Check it out here:

Password bug

I keep getting a wrong password in the logs of my cifs server. I believe the app is not escaping passwords correctly or maybe it's the os since I ran a mount -t cifs .... in a shell and got permission denied as well. How exactly are you supposed to escape passwords in android?

Special characters password

This is a password with special characters in it, that my cifs server is complaining that cifsmanager is sending the wrong password. I've verified i'm not typing it wrong.

I am running VEGAn-Tab with kernel 2.6.32.39-cm. I am kind of new to this but from what I gather, I need to get a hold of this cifs.ko and run insmod /mnt/blah/cifs.ko where blah is wherever I choose to save the module. Currently I am getting the generic unable to mount /mnt/cifs message.

My other thought is that the remote share I am attempting to mount has a space in it 192.168.x.x/Media Share. Could that potentially be creating an issue?
[Android Apps and Games] padde0711:
I just spent a couple of minutes figuring out what was wrong, CifsManager just gave me the 'invalid argument' finger. Turned out you can't leave the username/password fields empty, although CifsManager permits it.

Proposal: Could CifsManager set username/password to guest/guest if the user leaves them empty? That would be expected behaviour, I think.

Anyway, thanks a lot for this tool, f3d0r!

utf8 not working

I am getting either "segmentation fault" or "permission denied" when I try to use option iocharset=utf8 to connect my shares.

Without this option it is working fine and I am able to mount these shares with utf8 from commandline without an issue. So definitely something is wrong with CifsManager.

Maybe the issue is because cifs and utf8 are directly compiled into kernel in ARHD 5.1.3. I am not using insmod, not modprobe to load modules and cifs.ko or nsl_utf8.ko are definitely not loaded. So if Cifsmanager is checking them or even trying to load these modules, this can cause an issue.

But I am 100% sure they are not needed, because I am able to mount shares from CLI just fine without these modules loaded.

I am successfully using following command:

mount -t cifs -o user=<login>,password=<passwd>,iocharset=utf8 //my_server/my_share /mnt/cifs

Is there any way to debug CifsManager, or turn on logging?

I love your app, but I have a serious issue with it: it is not recognize as being an app by JuiceDefender.

Let me explain: JuiceDefender is a tool meant to save battery juice based on certain rules and/or triggers. One of the trigger is app requiring an wifi/data connection. To set up this trigger during configuration, JuiceDefender scan the phone for installed apps and list them. The user can then tick a box for each apps requiring data/wifi to be activated.

The issue is JuiceDefender does not recognize CifsManager as being installed on my phone, so I can't tell JuiceDefender to activate data/wifi when CifsManager is running.

I've told JuiceDefender support about this issue but they are not very responsive and the bug has not been corrected yet.

I'm now turning to you for help, because CifsManager is the only app wich is not "recognized" by JuiceDefender, so I wonder if you could check whether an internal tag (or whatever, I'm not a dev) could be missing so that JuiceDefender does not "see" it is installed on my phone.

My phone is a HTC Desire.

Thx in advance for your help
