NFS and SMB with Chrome OS?

Post by Statik »

Good evening all.
Currently running 1.11.0 on a TP-Link Archer C7 v2.
I have two different harddrives that are shared and are visible to all my linux computers, some of the windows computers and all of my raspberry pi kodi boxes. We now have 2 chromebooks that I'm trying to get to see the media drives for document sharing for school but they just cannot seem to see it. They do see the kodi boxes and some of the linux shares.
I did not see any previous questions on this issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the chromebooks to see the media drive.

thanks!

This is due to a security upgrade (NetBios shutdown) and a new version of the SMB protocol, which uses the WS discovery method (https://support.google.com/chromebook/t ... 6562?hl=en).

Gargoyle 1.11.0 (also 1.12.0) does not support WS discovery, this package will be up to version 1.13.0+ and is included in the OpenWrt 19.07 repository (https://github.com/Andy2244/wsdd2).

See if you can set up a lower samba version on your Chromebook to get older NetBios (SMBv1) support running, or you will have to wait for a new release of Gargoyle 1.13.x to install the package this way:

Code: Select all

gpkg update && gpkg install wsdd2
P.S. Make sure all machines are part of the same group (in Windows it is "WORKGROUP").

:idea: Try this experiment, manually install with ssh:

Code: Select all

gpkg update
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/packages-19.07/mips_24kc/packages/wsdd2_2019-12-15-8bcc0c1a-3_mips_24kc.ipk -O /tmp/wsdd2.ipk
gpkg install /tmp/wsdd2.ipk
/etc/init.d/wsdd2 enable
/etc/init.d/wsdd2 start
I don't know if the commands are correct (I can't test).
