Just purchased a WD TV Live Steaming unit today to replace my very old media server, everything going well with the exception of mounting the drive on the Pi.
The Pi is the download server so I pretty much need it to connect to the WD's drive, all the research and the other 2 threads runnign on other forums say that it should work. Its a simple cifs mount, however I keep getting the error "cifs filesystem not supported"
I have the latest samba and cifs-utils installed, the paths are all correct, options I took off the WD community forum and I have played with them every which way possible.
Manual:
mount -t cifs //192.168.0.15/Media /mnt/External -o user=,password=,workgroup=WORKGROUP
fstab:
//192.168.0.15/Media/mnt/External cifs username=guest,password=,nounix,uid=root,gid=root,rw,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
I have tried numerous combinations of the above and still end up at the same error each time. The other problem is the Streaming is too new to B-Rad has not made any custom firmware for it yet and I cannot find other customs online. SO I am pretty much stuck figuring this out on WD's great but not awesome software.
