We thought to ask what fields you expect in configuring Network Attached Storage in Volumio 2. The goal is to have a flexible yet easy to use configuration.
Currently we have:
NAME -> Share Name
IP -> IP of the NAS
Mpasteur suggested we should have
NAME -> Friendly name or Alias of the mounted Share
PATH -> Share name and deeper paths (example: Flac/rips)
IP -> Share IP
I agree with Mpasteur suggestion, but we thought that it would be great to discuss together and find the best possible solution.
PS: For password protected shares and advanced configuration, there’s an advanced tab to tick .
Yes, I believe multiple shares/NAS is the way to go. And with this not losing a share when it isn’t available when you share music from your workstation that isn’t a 24x7 device. I don’t know the current state of this, since I personally don’t use it. But when used in a household every one could share there own music collection from there laptops and also take their laptops out.
Using this
NAME -> Friendly name or Alias of the mounted Share
PATH -> Share name and deeper paths (example: Flac/rips)
IP -> Share IP
Is way more clear to me than a name that’s also the path.
File system type could be a little bit to much. Most windows users just think “Share” and not that its a Samba share. You might want to put this under advanced.
PS: One of my goals after the release is to implement a samba browser ( like what you get with smbclient -L) … That would be the definitive user friendliness…
you’re right but in my mind someone who use volumio is not an usal “just windows user” but to target a wider audience, according to your idea and waiting for michelangelo samba browser ( ) we can maybe have an “automatic mode” where users juste have to set “\myhost\share_name”
I merged it, and you were right (don’t know why but one of the two repo did not get the PR on my local git), to me it sounds right, just a trivial exchange of : with / and we could be fine for now. But if you guys want to dig more into it, that is very welcome…
I have the same problem and I’ve tried both NFS and CIFS. The mount is protected with a username and a password. In Volumio 1.55 I was able to mount using Samba (never tried anything else). I don’t find the Samba option in Volumio 2.
I’m running Volumio 2, version 0.839 on a Raspberry PI 2.
CIFS in Volumio 2 is what SMB/CIFS was in 1.55, in Volumio 2 the settings default to CIFS.
If you need to change this to NFS or when you need to enter a userid and password to access your NAS, then you need to use the advanced options (bottom left)
This is how I connect to a Synology DS415.

Thank you for the clarification. I also realize that I have spaces in the path, for example:
NAS address: 192.168.0.10
Path is: Top folder/My music/Lossless
Do I need to take care of the spaces in some way in Volumio 2 or is it the same as in Volumio 1.55?
Hi!
Just to say that I have no to problem to mount my NAS, nfs or cifs, on two device.
But in my config I don’t use password…
Two screenshot with my config
yes access for everyone, no password no special tweak… NAS : D-link DNS-320
Router :freebox v5 ( from Free a french internet provider)
I set a fixed ip adress for the NAS
