Hi Guys

Last night I created a folder called NAS under media and mounted it via:

mount -tcifs //xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/media/Music/Music /media/NAS -ouser=xxxx,pass=xxxxxx,ip=xxxxxx
1. Do a 'lsmod' from the terminal and make sure that cifs shows up in the modules list.
2. If it does then try your mount command above, and then do a 'dmesg' and see what the error message is.

I'm curious to know experiences of others.
On a connection that shows quality of about 27% in wifiinfo -- Yeah, I'm a ways from my router. So I'm sure this actually slows things down a bit. But I did all my measurements multiple times from the same place.

Well, in my tests this is what occurred:
- scp was almost twice as fast as cifs
- cifs with "direct" was twice as fast as cifs without it.

Direct numbers
- I can copy a 30 meg file in 60 seconds (Cifs, direct mode)
- I can copy the same 30 meg file in 33 seconds, via scp.

Doing some google research, it does appear that cifs is known to be slower than ftp/nfs/scp. So this is probably not going to improve any, as it is a protocol issue.

I also dropped a new version of TrueCrypt into the repository with the missing control files and the sudoers addition. Please vote on it so that we can move it out of "testing" and into extras. (Truecrypt itself is unchanged -- just install related stuff).

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
For me the direct mode actually seems to be slower. 500KB/s would be plenty for streaming, but I reach nowhere near that speed, more like 50. Any ideas?

I did manage to get it working without the script of GameboyRMH now. Nathan, could it be your instructions in the 1st post are incorrect? Looking at the script, I tried this:
mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

And it worked, while the original instructions didn't.

You have to have the original "mount.cifs" installed (see the attachment on post #1), to use it. I haven't used the script that others developed -- so I have no idea how it works.

Now, you can use either "mount.cifs" or "mount -t cifs" -- the rest of the command line is identical. I just ran the tests again using both commands to verify "direct" worked with both of them and was getting <400k (no direct) vs >600k (direct). It does fluctuates quite a bit on large files without direct, where it is consistent on large files with "direct". I also tried my next set of tests close to my router and my non-direct was a bit faster than before. But using "direct" on the command line with mount.cifs and mount -t cifs was still much better.

This is my hardware setup.
A Server which is physically wired to the Linksys 54g Access Point, using only wireless G on Channel 1. I have the "larger" linksys antennas, and am also running running ddt-wrt on the AP. I tried messing with the xmit power but that didn't help a bit. I do have the access point set to use one antenna as Transmit and the other as Receive (rather than auto).

On my n900 I have cifs & ntfs all auto loading on startup. I have
- wireless power savings set to on (intermediate)
- wifi transmissions power to 100mw
- wpa encryption (not wpa2)
- scanning = never.

For the next release could you include nls_utf8.ko?

I've got a bunch of files with Japanese filenames shared from my desktop that don't appear properly with the default ANSI encoding. I built and loaded the module myself and confirmed it worked, but it'd be nice to have it as part of an official, managed package.

Actually it is already also in extras-testing, I stuck it their a while back since someone else had the same issue as you. "kernel-modules-nls-utf8" I think is its name. ;-)

Out of curiosity, do you have to manually load the utf8 module; or does the os auto load it when it detects a utf8 name?

I've been meaning to test this; but haven't had time. I have a script in the kernel module that loads it on startup; but if the os is smart enough to load it when it needs it then I don't need to auto-load it on startup.

Doh, didn't think to look for it. And there it is. I was too busy trying to figure out why the "user" option in my fstab was being ignored (apparently busybox doesn't acknowlege it?)

I had to manually insert it into the modules.dep and move it into /lib/modules/`uname -r`, after which I modprobe'd it. I suspect it would probably have automatically loaded it, but didn't try. I can this evening however, after I clean out my existing changes and install the package.

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
as I suspect I got the wifi bug, the weird thing is that it started only after installing the cifs module.
I just updated to pr1.1.1 and waiting to see if it is resolved (cifs installed)

After installing the Cifs Kernel module, it breaks the built in screen calibration utility -- tested on my very used nokia, and a friends brand new one.

I have just done a complete flash/emmc flash using the command line flasher and will re-test.

Other then that - it works great, thank you.

This is FYI only
If you try mount share in windows domain and use following syntax:

mount -t cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -o user=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

You get message: "Mounting the DFS root for domain not implemented yet"


This is without troubles:
mount.cifs //<server>/<path> /<your>/<local>/<path> -ouser=<domain>/<user>,pass=<pass>,ip=<ip of server>,direct

Did anyone solve the printf %q problems??

davidh101 2010-02-20 00:08
Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
I have also just tried the script with the printf's commented out, copied to my /home/user as a file called cifsmount.sh

I tried to run it, but got an error to do with permissions, so ran the command: chmod u+x cifsmount.sh, this appears to run ok

Now when i try to run the script, i get cifsmount.sh: not found.
i have tried it with the variations of ./ or /home/user beofre running it

Any suggestions??

Cue 2010-02-20 10:43
Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
you probably already know this but my suggestions are

1) watch out, things are case sensetive so make sure you used cifsmount.sh and not Cifsmount.sh
2) to execute any script you must give the path of the script.

find the script first. do

ls

in the directory you're in to see the actual name of the script and to make sure it's there.

./cifsmount.sh

should work since the "." means current directory .

3) my final sugesstion is probably the more likely one since you seem to have found the script already but didn't have the privilages to run it. to me it sounds like you perhaps edited the script and added cifsmount.sh in it. did you?

davidh101 2010-02-20 12:46
Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
Ok, I am pretty certain that I had already checked those areas. So a full step-by-step of what I am doing.

On my Windows 7 (sorry for not being linux) laptop, I created a file in notepad (basically copied and pasted the previously quoted script), and then commented out the printf lines with a #, and added ,direct to the end of each of the mount lines. Saved this file in ANSI format as cifsmount.sh (definately no .txt at the end), plugged in the USB cable, selected Mass Storage Mode and copied the file to the root of the N900.

On the N900:
1. Take out USB Cable
2. Open xTerminal
c. Type the following:
Code:
~ $ sudo gainroot
/home/user # rm cifsmount.sh
/home/user # cd MyDocs/
/home/user/MyDocs # mv cifsmount.sh ../
(removing the previous version and then moving the newly copied one)

Code:
/home/user/MyDocs # cd ..
/home/user # ls
/home/user # chmod u+x ./cifsmount.sh
/home/user # ./cifsmount.sh
when is type ls i do get the file listed in the current directory, the chmod line, I have tried without the ./ at the beginning, it appears to work fine. When I type the last line (I am hapy about . meaning the current directory, but it helps with the TAB autocomplete), I get the following displayed on the screen:

/bin/sh: ./cifsmount.sh: not found

I also tried the command with the full path of /home/user/cifsmount.sh, exactly the same error showing (obviously giving a different path for cifsmount.sh)

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
Sounds like some of you are using older versions of the script. The printf %q issue has been solved. Here is the final, working version again:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#arguments: servername serverip share username password mountpoint
#username, password and mountpoint are optional arguments
if [ $# -lt 3 ] ; then
    #Go into "wizard mode" if there are no arguments
    echo -e "Not enough arguments passed - running wizard"

    read serverip
    echo -e "Enter the share name or path"
    read sharename
    echo -e "Enter a username, or leave blank for anonymous"
    read username
    username_orig=$username
    if [ "${username}" != "" ]; then
        echo -e "Enter a password"
        read password
    fi
    echo -e "Enter a mount point, or leave blank for automatic"
    read mountpoint
fi
#if arguments were passed from the command line, use them:
if [ $# -gt 2 ]; then
    servername=$1
    serverip=$2
    sharename=$3
    username=$4
    username_orig=$username
    password=$5
    mountpoint=$6
fi
#set default mountpoint if the user didn't enter one
if [ "${mountpoint}" = "" ]; then
    mountpoint="/media/Remote_Filesystems/$servername@$sharename"
    #make sure the Remote_Filesystems directory exists
    mountparentdir="/media/Remote_Filesystems"
    if [ -d $mountparentdir ]; then
        echo -e "$mountparentdir found."
    else
        echo -e "Creating $mountparentdir"
        mkdir $mountparentdir
    fi
fi
#requote variables to escape special characters
#servername=$(printf '%q' "$servername")
#serverip=$(printf '%q' "$serverip")
#sharename=$(printf '%q' "$sharename")
#username=$(printf '%q' "$username")
#password=$(printf '%q' "$password")
#mountpoint=$(printf '%q' "$mountpoint")
#check for mountpoint and create it if it doesn't exist
if [ -d $mountpoint ]; then
    echo -e "Mount point already exists - will attempt to use."
else
    echo -e "Creating mountpoint $mountpoint"
    mkdir $mountpoint
fi
echo -e "Attempting to mount //$servername/$sharename at $mountpoint"
#Run the mount command
if [ "${username_orig}" != "" ]; then
mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o user=$username,pass=$password,ip=$serverip
else
mount -t cifs //$servername/$sharename $mountpoint -o ip=$serverip
fi
#chown mountpoint to user
chown -R user $mountpoint
echo -e "To unmount this share, run umount $mountpoint as root"

I don't know which script you used but please try this and tell me what you get.

cat cifsmount.sh | grep cifsmount.sh

try creating the script on the N900 itself perhaps.

Ok, I have used the script that GameboyRMH has shown in the post above

I'm not sure what the above command should do, but I have tried a couple of things, typing it all in one go just appears to do nothing, just gives me the # prompt to enter a new command.

However, if I enter the cat command, i get the contents of the file shown.

If I do the grep one on its own, i get a blank line to type on (not sure what it does.

Added some images to try and show the results

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
Surely it doesn't matter where I created the file if the result is teling me it isn't found......even when it is showing up in the directory????

because then you do not have to worry about how you save, EOL characters or how you transfer the file, which can cause a problem.

edit: the command before was to check that cifsmount.sh isn't in your script. showing nothing and going back to command prompt means it isn't in your script.

Nathan when you say faster do you mean just mounting or somehow faster browsing directories?

I solved these problems using the uid and gid option. The 'user' uid and gid is 29999. gid and uid are included between pass=xxxx, and ip=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Update. The correct line for your example is:
Code:
mount -tcifs //xx.xx.xx.xx/media /media/NAS -ouser=xxxx,pass=xxxxx,uid=29999,gid=29999,ip=xxxxxxxxxxxx

Has no one noticed you can't calibrate the screen ???

This is totally a deal breaker --- and I know its specifically the CIFS module now.

I have installed the joydev+mouse for PS3 sixaxis support, and it doesnt break anything.



Please test for your self:

Launcher -> Settings -> Screen calibration -> click first bulls-eye -- crashes to 'desktop'

Let me know if I am doing something stupid

Re: How to Distribute? (TrueCrypt, Cifs.ko, ntfs.ko, mount.cifs)
 
Hey all, with PR1.2 coming out I was looking for a safe way to upgrade, since we don't know for sure if this CIFS module will work with the new kernel. My plan is:

1. Disable auto-startup by moving /etc/events.d/cifs to another location
2. Perform upgrade (I'm doing it OTA)
3. Use insmod to load module and test. If I don't get any trouble it should be safe to auto-load (right)?
4. Re-enable auto-load by replacing /etc/events.d/cifs

Sound good?
