Where do I find cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko files suitable for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (running Android 3.1 stock ROM, rooted)? Or are they generic files? I've seen info which talks about using ADB to copy them into /system/lib/modules, but is there any reason I can't just do it the easy way and create the folder and copy them there using ES File Explorer? I don't mind using ADB, but I generally avoid command-lines where possible.

It seems that support for Astro file manager is not supported anymore following the latest update to Astro. Hmmm that's a real shame :(

@Dev, any chance of re-adding support for Astro or even root explorer? Please. I would really appreciate it as I use your excellent app a lot.

Thanks.

Getting "No such device"

Hi,

I Installed this app on my touchpad running the latest CM 7.1.

Trying to mount NFS shares located on my NAS, and systematically getting this error message "No such device or address".

The same mount works perfectly when done by my media player (PCH A110, linux box as well), with the same user and option, so I think the setup is fine on the NAS side.

Did an lsmod, cifs.ko is listed, so CIFS support looks OK on the touchpad.

I tried to use users, no luck.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks

Hi !

Stupid me, i found a working set of ko files:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113191

The 2.3.4 files do work, YAY :-)

Cifs seems to be awfully slow, is this to be expected or is this a problem with the ko files ?

(approx 0,5 MByte / sec from a QNAP NAS)

In other cases the WLAN speed of the Note can reach up to 2 MByte / sec i guess, i am not too sure, just got it for 3 days :-)

Question concerning speed

Hi there,

I've got a question concerning the speed of mounting network drives with cifsmanager. I've successfully mounted all the network shares. Watching movies and listening to music over the network works just great. My problem are the pictures. Using the gallery app of my Gtab 10.1 or JustPictures is awefully slow. I mean it takes forever for the gallery to load the preview images and going from one picture to another. I do not think that it's my Wifi because for my Pcs it works fine. I am absolutly no expert on this matter. But my uneducated guess is that it has something to do with some kind of default buffering. Has anyone the same problem and any suggestions for me. Actually watching all my pictures on my Tab was the main reason I rooted it and installed a custom rom to use cifsmanager. But with this speed it is just no fun. Also I wanted to ask what exactly is slow-work.ko for? I've read about sometimes but could not figure out its purpose. Does it somehow improve the speed of mounting network shares?

Looking forward for your replies,

Bel.

P.S. Apoligies for typos. Writing this with my Tab and I'm not quite used to it.

[Android Apps and Games] nutzo:
Guys,

went through the pages, but not quite obvious for me:

can I or can I not mount "real-NFS" shares with this?

I.e. "mount -t nfs" based shares. I have a NSLU2 with

nfsserver running (with properly configured /etc/exports),

I can access the share from XP as anonymous fine, however

with cifsmanager I get "connection refused". Is it because it

tries to mount the share with "cifs" instead of "nfs"?

if yes, how can it be changed? or should I convert my NSLU2

to Samba instead?

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
Since no one else is stepping up to the plate here i will make a wild guess with no knowledge of anything, i flipped a coin to pick which fortune cookie and this is what it read.....

I believe kernels have to support both CIFS and/or NFS. This can be supported independently so just because it has CIFS support doesnt mean it has NFS support. The kernel can actually load it or you can load it by hand.

So my questions to you are, are you sure your kernel can handle NFS? are you sure its loaded? If that is the case have you tried it with CIFS?

Can't add new shares

When I first used CiFS manager I was able to create a network share to my Windows 7 PC.

Now however I find CIFS will not allow me to add more.

It keeps complaining that the file or directory doesn't exist.

I guess this is the local /mnt/cifs folder?

I find I can't create a folder in there as it is readonly.

My original share still works at /mnt/cifs/name. But it won't create any more.

So to add a new share I unmount the above share and then add a new account which uses the old /mnt/cifs/name. That works.

Seems odd I can only create one....

Any idea how to fix this?

[Android Apps and Games] ObiWan_C:
Need some help figuring out why I am not able to mount cifs/samba share to a locale folder on my SD.

First of all, I have ICS 4.0.3 sense 3.6 rom installed on HTC Sensation 4G.

The module is located on the device (/system/lib/module/cifs.ko)

when I run the command lsmod from the CLI I can see that the module is loaded.

when running a cli command:

mount -t cifs //samba.server.ip/sahre /sdcard/some/folder -o username=guest

I get an error - "mount: No such file or directory". * The folder is located on the SD card.

When running the app "CifsManager" I get the same error as with manual mount.

Now, when I use "ES File Manager" I am able to open the samba share folders (as from other computers on my LAN network).

What am I missing ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] MountainX:
I'm having this problem too. I have ICS on a Galaxy Nexus GSM (with Codename Android ROM). In addition to the kernel with the ROM, I tried the GLaDOS kernel which has cifs and nfs modules. I used insmod to load the cifs module. Still no luck. Same error mentioned above. Like ObiWan_C said, other apps (such as AndSMB) will connect to my shared folders.
[Android Apps and Games] ObiWan_C:
I am afraid that we will not get any help here. I will try to find a solution and if I do, I will update this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] john0902:
I use CifsManager to mount stuff to /mnt/cifs/* (with mount options uid=1000,gid=1015). I get the error you list above when either the mounting directory (e.g. /mnt/cifs/SHARE) doesn't exist, or when the parent filesystem of the mounting location is Read-Only, rather than Read-Write. When the filesystem is RW, CifsManager auto-creates the directory to mount and mounts the network share there. If you are mounting to somewhere on /scard/, I'd imagine you'd have write access for CifsManager to autocreate a mount directory. For the cli approach, I assume you have manually created the directory first.

However, in your case, I'm not sure CifsManager works with ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] MountainX:
I too think it must be an ICS problem because I know I have write access to the location, etc.

help - isp port blocking

I've got this working beautifully over my home network, but would love to take my files anywhere. Problem is, my ISP has ports 137-139 and 445 blocked, and refuses to open them, stating it would introduce a security risk and it would affect more than just my IP.

I have found open ports using canyouseeme.org and forwarded my NAS to them, is there any way to connect to a different port from the app? Or is it possible to connect using a domain name from dyndns or dtdns?
[Android Apps and Games] ObiWan_C:
You can set up a VPN server and connect to your home network. If you use PPTP you will need port 1723 to be open on the ISP side.

I'll give that a shot. Would I want my NAS (seagate goflex home) to be the VPN server, or should I use one of the other computers on the network? I've got access to root on the NAS, but I think it's running RedHat, all my other computers are Ubuntu.

I am a noob to cifs amd everything I have tried with this cifsmanager returns a "invalid argument". I know it works on my Viewsonic G tab with FrankenTab 1.1.0 because I read where another member is using it. Is there a tutorial anywhere? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ObiWan_C:
Before doing that, you need to make sure that the module is there...

run the command "ls /system/lib/modules" (without the "") from your terminal emulator or from ADB. If you will see that this module is listed in the output then your are good to go and run the insmod command. If you don't have this module then you are in the same bout as I am, and probably will not be able to get this to work unless you compile the module for your kernel.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

As long as you can get from any address on your LAN network to the share, it makes no difference where you run the server. My VPN server is running on the router, and with that I can get to any computer on my LAN.

I can mount a cifs share on any other computer without a problem, but when I mount it on my phone using cifsmanager, I get empty directories unless I chmod the files on my server to include rwx permissions for other. Why does cifsmanager require that I do this while mounts on other machines do not? I can create a file on the server from the phone, but then that file is instantly not accessible because it doesn't get read other permissions.

Since the machine may have other users on it, I would like to avoid giving any permissions to other. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

Gmail drops attached files

Hello. CIFS manager is terrific and I'm using in on my DX. I copied the files to my system/lib/modules folder and added the insomd line in settings. I can browse my Windows share as a local path in /mnt.

I'd like to change a few parts of it just for myself, eg. when a share is already mounted i'd like choosing it to unmount it rather than open a file explorer. Other thing is I'd like to stop the app to create /mnt/cifs folder autmatically because I don't use it.

But nevertheless it is a great app, lightweight and actually the only one I found that mounts shares automaticaly for me.

Has anyone gotten cifs manager to work on a Razr?

I installed spyder's CM9 ROM (cm-9-20120623-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip), which I'm pretty sure has Cifs support: rombot.droidhive.com/ROMs/spyder/cm9/

It successfully mounts the drive, but when I try to actually open a file, it cannot read it. This is true with video, text, and word documents. I AM able to move and rename the file though.

I was having a similar problem with my NAS where I wanted to mount /IP Address/Volume_1/Music. I could only get it to mount /IP Address/Volume_1 but not with the extra /Music folder. Perhaps you got it working already?

Can you get it to mount /192.168.1.9/MASSSTORAGE by itself?

If you can then setup the share as normal with 192.168.1.9/MASSSTORAGE as the share and some local mount point directory, e.g. /mnt/cifs/MS.

Add the username and password as before, then in the options box put

prefixpath=USB_Western_Digitial_Elem_1

and then try mounting it. I think CIFS only by default allows you to name the share, then this pathprefix option lets you specify the location within the share. Although this is a best guess, not from a position of knowledge ;)

Is there a way to stop Android choking on offline shares?

I have a HTPC that goes offline at 3am and comes back on at 6pm. When that share is offline File managers (such as Root Explorer / ES File Explorer) freeze up when opening, eventually crashing, same for any other app that looks in the shared folder, video players for example. It doesn't matter which local /dir the File managers start in.

I can unmount in CifsManager to correct this, but most of the time says it can't because it's busy, other times CifsManager just locks up then crashes.

Mount: out of memory

I have used cifsmanager successfully in the past, running MIUI on my i9000 (Galaxy S 1)

I've recently switched to a CM10 ROM (devil V8) and I've been getting an error:

"mounting the share has failed with an error

mount: out of memory"

I've no idea what could be causing this. In this thread several other people have encountered this error and only one solution involving adding a guest account to the Windows "server" machine, which didn't work.

So...I guess...help?

EDIT: I've been able to solve the issue; apparently, when I boot my PC first, and then my phone, cifsmanager reports this error. If first the phone, then the pc, cifs does work.

AndSMB also has this issue, so I'd guess it's a kernel/ROM/Windows issue.

I'm running into the empty directory issue, and after digging around this post all answers point to changing permissions. I currently have my permissions set to Everyone having all access.
