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

Chewbacca22 · October 9, 2020, 4:39am

Thank you so much for enabling the media folder in this 9.3.0 update. Keep it up!
God bless!

Hi @Lucio_Tarantino,
Thx the update. it’s working.
I have a question. I want to set a sensor with the external HDD folder size. Could you help me, how can I set the folder path?
I try this, but it’s not working

homeassistant:
allowlist_external_dirs:
- //192.168.0.143/ext_media
sensor:
platform: folder
folder: //192.168.0.143/ext_media

Where is the mounted folder in file system?

Lucio_Tarantino · October 9, 2020, 10:46am

I’m sorry to say that, but you can’t.

Sensor type folder and folder watcher don’t support network mount but only path on ha docker visible fs.

I think it might be interesting to add the exposure (MQTT?) of the sensors that report the monitoring parameters to the samba addon.

Give me a feedback (like on this post) on this feature if it interest.

Thanks for your answer
Yes, I’m interested in. Because now I can’t check the free space on the external HDD. So if you can help me give another possibility, then I would be very glad.

Lucio_Tarantino · October 15, 2020, 7:52pm

You can check the last version. Now shared disk are reported via MQTT to ha.

KTibow · October 16, 2020, 1:48am

Any reason why I get this?

[cont-init.d] automount.sh: executing... 
[18:45:52] INFO: Protection Mode is false
[18:45:52] WARNING: MoreDisk option found!
mount: /dev_: mount point does not exist.
[18:45:52] WARNING: Unable to mount external drivers!
[cont-init.d] automount.sh: exited 0.

Any ideas how to fix? Also, where will the drives be mounted?

Lucio_Tarantino · October 16, 2020, 5:28am

Hi,
The log means that devfs is not found so no disk is mount.
Can you post the full log and also more information about your system ( hw, sw version, external drive type /fs… ).

L.

pozo88 · October 16, 2020, 1:14pm

These messages were received into log for me too, but the shared drive is visible next to samba folders. I use an external HDD which plug to raspberry via USB.

pozo88 · October 16, 2020, 1:28pm

Thx for the update. But need some help about the configuration.

1, I updated the Samba NAS
2, I wrote this to the Samba NAS configuration

mqtt_topic: sambanas

3, The Mosquito MQTT logged this

[INFO] found homeassistant on local database
1602852775: New client connected from 172.30.32.1 as auto-8ACCB74F-10A6-9338-482D-9E2D107D2E3D (p2, c1, k60, u'homeassistant').

Is it (auto-8ACCB74F-10A6-9338-482D-9E2D107D2E3D) OK? After 2. step it should have been sambanas?
4, In the configuration.yaml I wrote this

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "sambanas/status"

5, I see this in Samba NAS log

[14:48:41] WARNING: No MQTT config.

KTibow · October 16, 2020, 1:38pm

ext4, if I use port 22222 access I can mount it from /dev/sda1, it’s called CONFIG.

I have a new problem after some settings. I have set back these but the problem is still. And the mount driver has been lost.

mqtt_topic default is “sambanas”, the “auto-xx” is the mqtt client id.
You don’t need to manually config the sensor, a pool fo new sensor is registered in HA via MQTT auto discovery.

I think you are affected the same bug of @KTibow where in the image there is no the directory structure so devfs and mosquitto config don’t starts.

I’m publish now the version 9.3.0-nas2 with the fix. Please try.

Lucio_Tarantino · October 16, 2020, 2:57pm

Hi,
there is a bug in 9.3.0-nas1 where dev_ dir stripped in the autobuild system so is unable to mount disks.
Please retry with the new version 9.3.0-nas2.

L.

KTibow · October 16, 2020, 3:59pm

So where does it mount the disk to?

Lucio_Tarantino · October 16, 2020, 4:02pm

The disks are mounted in the docker and then shared with the same name by samba.

KTibow · October 16, 2020, 4:04pm

So if I wanted to use this dialog:

What would I put after the 192.168.1.3? For the media folder it’s \media.
OH! It’s the disk label, so mine is called CONFIG, so it’s \\192.168.1.3\CONFIG.

Lucio_Tarantino · October 16, 2020, 4:40pm

The name of the disk?!?!?
Sorry but I don’t understand.

In the addon config you need to add what disks you need to mount. The name is the disk-partition label of your disk and is used also for share name.

For exampe

I hava an external disk with label LIBRARY connected to USB
I add the config:

moredisks:
  - LIBRARY

-Now I can mount “//homeassistant/LIBRARY” on my Mac ( for windows use \ ).

You can also see the name in the addon’s log:

 [cont-init.d] automount.sh: executing... 
 [17:15:12] INFO: Protection Mode is false
 [17:15:14] WARNING: MoreDisk option found!

KTibow · October 16, 2020, 4:40pm

Yeah, that was what I figured out. Now I just need to figure out how to put the drive in the media browser…

pozo88 · October 16, 2020, 5:48pm

Thank you very much @Lucio_Tarantino. Everything is working. I can configurate the size monitoring too.

pozo88 · October 16, 2020, 7:27pm

Unfortunately the MQTT communication disconnects easily.
This is the SambaNAS log after starting:
