It works as expected.
I realized i hadn't installed cifs-utils when i tried to mount.It's installed now, unfortunetly the error remains..

DustinB3403

@Fetakungen So if you have cifs-utils installed now, remove the mount from within XO, and from the console and try to remount it.

Fetakungen

@DustinB3403

Already done , I also did a reboot but it's still the same..

This "Error" pops up when i do an ls of the mount folder. Does XO do hardlink of the mount ? If so this might be the cause..

This happens at the mount.

I rolledback to nodejs 5.x instead of 6.x and rebuildning atm.

Same error with 5.x

SMB "mount" is not done via the system but with a Javascript library (lib-smb2), contrary to NFS which is mounted via a "mount" command.

So for SMB it's not really mounted, we are streaming files via SMB protocol.

@olivier

I see. Ideas where to start looking ? According to the log i would say it's nodejs related but i'm no expert in the linux world.

@Fetakungen I would like to see the logs (in text format please). I bet on a broken SMB protocol thing (either on the lib we use or the SMB server). We tested it against Windows Server SMB, not Samba. The issue is probably there. NFS should work better.

I'm using SMB to connect to a Mint desktop for my backup testing.

@BRRABill I guess depends of Samba config

But the Samba system, not the lib that they use, I'm guessing.

@olivier

Well all i can say for the 3 sites where this error occur is that the Samba server is Freenas. What logs would you like to see ?

For anyone wondering, you can run this on Debian (8.5) I've just updated my test system, and all appears to be working without issue.

@Fetakungen xo-server output when the issue is triggered.

See my previous post. But here it's again :

@Fetakungen see my previous post too, I would like to have it at text, not an image

edit: to have a bit before and after too.

Sadly @scottalanmiller's one liner doesn't work on the latest Ubuntu. Manual install seems to be going just fine.

@travisdh1 Try my fork (https://github.com/Danp2/xenorchestra_installer/blob/master/xo_install.sh)

@scottalanmiller I sent you a PR on GH.

@travisdh1 What wasn't working?

One of the software packages has changed location. deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x has moved, didn't get past that. Easy enough to fix.

DustinB3403

Ah, yeah easy fix, should just have to update the url.
