[New Addon] Samba NAS. (Mount external disk and share it )

KTibow · October 20, 2020, 4:15pm

Restart HA.

kbruns · October 20, 2020, 4:25pm

I just restarted HA, and the whole System, the sensors are still there.
I can’t find the place, where I can delete them.

KTibow · October 20, 2020, 4:27pm

I think they were auto-discovered by MQTT.

Lucio_Tarantino · October 21, 2020, 4:49am

Sensors are created with auto discovery in MQTT with persistent messages. ( as ha documentation )
For now to delete sensors you need do remove the messages from MQTT server, you can do it with any MQTT client.

I will investigate why the UI don’t allow the management and if is possible…

Thanks for the information!
I removed the zombie entities with MQTT-Explorer.

Hi, I am unable to start this succesfully and connect to it… the normal “samba share” works just fine.
am on rpi4, here’s my log… would appreciate if anyone had any idea!!

KTibow · October 30, 2020, 6:23pm

You need to disable Protected Mode, in the Info tab.

fbcohoas · October 30, 2020, 6:28pm

Thank you @KTibow
it is disabled tho.
I had the wrong log pasted, I changed it with the correct one now if you have any other idea.

KTibow · October 30, 2020, 6:44pm

You haven’t configured MQTT in Home Assistant.

fbcohoas · October 30, 2020, 6:47pm

thanks, will look into it!

Thanks for the great Addon. This is exactly what I was looking for

One problem though - I’ve mounted a usb drive and everything works fine with locating and writing, but I don’t have delete rights. Any ideas here on how to change the access right?

Thanks

Lucio_Tarantino · October 31, 2020, 10:47am

The rw rights allow also the delete. If you can’t delete but you can write the problem is not permission but other. I need some other information to understand.

what is the fs type of your drive? ( extfs4, ntfs… )
what do you use as client? ( macOS, window, linux … )
don’t work delete or move to trash or both?

Thanks for the quick reply.
I’m using a micro sd via usb which is formatted to exFAT.
Windows is showing a generic error message while android is advanced enough to let me know it’s a permission issue.

I tried a simple delete and overwrite the file with a slightly modified version of itself.

I might also add that the default file-system shared “media” directory (or any of the other default dirs for that matter) do not exhibit the issue

Hi,
I’ve already been testing this addon for some days. And I have only one problem. When I mount the driver then this driver is mounted only few hours then it is unmounting. In this situation I always restart the addon and the driver is mounted again. it wouldn’t be a huge problem if it isn’t happened when we are watching a film via Plex.
Have you got any idea what is the problem?

KTibow · October 31, 2020, 1:33pm

If you plug it in to another PC, does the same issue happen?

Lucio_Tarantino · November 1, 2020, 8:27am

The problem is the use of fuse type fs in a samba share. There are many documented issue on samba forum.
I suggest you to use a native Linux fs such as ext3/4 if the problem persists can be an hw issue.

Also if you are on rpi platform a low usb power capacity can explain. Try to change usb port or check rpi power.

Lucio_Tarantino · November 1, 2020, 8:29am

I need to see the addon logs after the umount. The next time it’s append can you post the logs before the reboot?

idofr · November 1, 2020, 9:17am

Works like a charm with ext4. Many thanks

Hi everyone,

How can I integrate my NAS folder into Hassio?
So that I can access it from the media browser.
For example music.
