Cannot mount smb shared drive from the router on my Pop!_OS system. Can someone give me some assistance? - eviltoast

Edit: I have added the share name at the end of the IP address and now I’m getting mount error(115): Operation now in progress. I haven’t figured this one out yet either. My computer IP and the network drive IP are on the same network and within range. Both should be using the same gateway and DHCP.

I have tried just about every combination of parameters possible and nothing is working. It keeps spitting out a meaningless error and that error is the only thing in the log file too. I have tried a 100 different answers from across stack-overflow to no avail.

I’m running the command below:

sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.50.1/ /mnt/asus -o credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials

and regardless of how many params I have removed it keeps spitting out : mount error(22): Invalid argument Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

I have referred to the manpage and verified that all of the args I’m using are valid. At this point I’m kind of at a loss. Are there file system args I need to add or something?

I can see the disk with all of the sharenames when I run smbclient -L 192.168.50.1, and I can navigate to it in the file browser, but I can’t mount it for some reason. I have the workgroup name set under /etc/samba/smb.conf. I have tried enabling and disabling NT1. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it might be spitting out an invalid args error even when I removed every single argument?

    I tried with several share names and it didn’t work. But I tried again just now for the first time since I moved the credentials to a file and it threw a different error: mount error(115): Operation now in progress. That’s at least something I can work with. Thank you!
