Issue seeing full capacity when mounting NAS in OSX El Capitan

[agent_kith]

First of all, is there a way to change the mounts/partitions without reinstalling Snakeoil? The Ubiquity software contained in the install is the only way I can see to do it. So I reinstalled Snakeoil with the following configuration:

Yes, you can SSH into the Snakeoil PC, and modify this file /etc/fstab to customise your partitions the way you like it.

However, right now, all your music are supposed to be under /media/music, and all your playlists are under /media/playlists.

If you have multiple disks, you should consider setting up a LVM, this will "join" all your SSD/HDD into one big volume that you can mount under /media/music.

Right now you can only do this via the SSH. Doing the same thing via a few clicks will be added into the Snakeoil GUI WebApp eventually.

and tried again. It still only sees the space available under "/" while ignoring the rest. I tried mounting 

"cifs://<NAS_IP_Address>/media/music "

it asks for a password for the same non-existent username as before, I select guest, it thinks for a moment, and then I get an error message, "The share does not exist on the server. Please check the share name, and then try again."



Any ideas?

Snakeoil OS uses SMBv1, which is a very old version of Windows sharing. I suspect this is the reason why you're having problems with mounting the share. Can you upgrade to this Filesystems kernel here in this thread and see if it works?

I am unfamiliar with how MacOS handle UNC, in Windows this share path should be "//<NAS_IP_Address>/music", so try cifs://snakeoil_ip/music. Windows share only share the name of the folder, not the full path from root. Thus the music share would be //<NAS_IP_Address>/music, and the playlists share would be //<NAS_IP_Address>/playlists.

For both shares, login in as anonymous (i.e. no user and no password). Let me know how it goes.
