I have a stock rooted Note 2 that has android 4.1.2 on it, and I'm trying to get mount manager to work.
I've been doing as much reading as i can 'think' I may need some additional cifs modules to mount the shares.
Is anyone able to mount shares, and explain how thy did it? I really want to mount to a local folder so that various apps (movies, etc) see them as a local folder.
I'm open to changing roms, or whatever it takes. just want to get it working.

How do I mount network shares on my incredible. I want to watch movies off my server.
Astro
Install Astro and it's SMB module from the Market.
I want to mount it not browse to it. So I can play files like they are on a SD card, not download them and then play.
you would have to recompile a kernel with samba built in I believe
Do any of the images being worked on have it?
This would be an incredible feature. Is this working on any of the devices?
I have been searching for this as well. It'd be nice to allow Rockplayer access to my server so I can just stream my porn.

All you need is any kernel with either the cifs.ko module (CIFS = SAMBA = Common Internet File System) built as the module, or built-in/linked (like Ziggy's).
In addition, once you've done a mount -t cifs /blah blah, which is all that seeing it in any file util like root explorer shows (that it's mounted, or else you'd never see the files there), then your media/whatever player should be able to use them if the app itself is able to play files from anywhere.
So there's a few pieces to this, where anyone of them "might" be a show-stopper, but I often leave CIFS shares mounted on mine and use them directly.
Hello,
I want to mount a shared Folder of my Fritzbox.
I'm searching for a while now, I found out i need the cifs.ko module but all i can find is for other devices, isn't there a way for the M8 despite a custom kernel?
As far as is remember i managed it with my One S with something like "busyboy mount -t cifs //Ip.ip.ip.ip/sharename /mnt/name -o user=xxx,password=www" But all i get is "failed: No such device"
ElementalX supports CIFS: http://goo.gl/jFKhfy
You can use ES file Explorer (without cifs module) to enter the drive of your Fritzbox, if it's a smb mount in your network
Hi there !
Is there a way to do this ?
I currently use ES file sharing but he always copy the files to the host before opening it up (this kill the purpose for me, because i keep all centralized for backup).
I tried using busybox and mount manager but i cant load the modules ! (yes the tablet is rooted).
Thanks for the help.
I've used 2 apps for this
As long as you are rooted you can use either 'SambaDroid' or 'Samba Filesharing', downloadable from Play store for free, to make available both your /storage/sdcard0 (Internal) and /storage/extSdCard (External) as mount dirs.
I used both and in fact can't remember which one I found seemed faster but speed more likely pertains to the hardware and network conn. each device is using.
But what i need its exactly the opposite. I need to mount SMB shares on my server on my tablet !

Maybe XBMC/Kodi? For video, pictures and music....Does a great job of playing movies from my NAS!
Problem is, some programs (like Poweramp) cant work with streaming.
So i need to mount a smb share to make the program see it as a local folder

I have used ES File explorer to both send and receive files to and from the tablet. Maybe if you elaborated on what your need is we could better guide you to the correct software.
Thanks

ES File explorer will do just fine. It will not let you access the share from your other apps but if you want to access a file and use an app to open it that will work. If you looking to map shares to your device your better to learn how to use a VPN first. If you map a location and don't have access to it you might get unwanted consequences. If you have a VPN setup first you will have access to these shares away from home and won't have to worry about that as long as you have a signal. VPN means Virtual Private Network. Some routers have this built in but if you want a really nice one check out PfSense. That has many options and will work by adding a second network card to an old computer. Hope this helps a little but without knowing exactly what your looking to do I couldn't think of a better answer.

Just did it !
Thanks to Skyhigh and UpInTheAir i manage to sucessfully mount in the 1.9 version.
Now Poweramp and all other program function normally. Did with CIFS manager
Thanks for the help guys
Hi guys,
I have some problems with the mount options in android.
I often use ES File Manager but it's very annoying to always download the media i need.
I want to mount the shared folder in my tablet, but first of all my specs:
-SM-T311 (3G+Wi-Fi) with stock rom and rooted
-Apparently no cifs.ko / smb.ko /nfs.ko module inside /system/lib/
My shared folder is available through SMB (SAMBA) and NFS (Network File System) but none of these two are working via mount command in terminal, already tried with thousand of combination.
Even SSH/SFTP is available if this is the only option for me.
With Ubuntu i'm easily able to mount the folder in the system, but with android it always lack of functionality.
Can anyone help me?
Do i need to add the module in my system? If yes, how? Can i extract the module from the CM rom and copy/paste to my directory?
Thank you guys, I'm really looking forward for some help.
I used to able to mount (using either NFS or CIFS) a shared folder on my NAS (Western Digital MyCloud) on FTV 1.
IP of the NAS: 192.168.5.6
Mountpoint on FTV: /mnt/obb/WD
I could use either of the following commands on FTV 1:
busybox mount -v -o udp,async,nolock,noatime,nodiratime,soft,intr,vers=3,rsize=65536,wsize=65536 -t nfs "192.168.5.6:/nfs/Devices" "/mnt/obb/WD" (NFS)
busybox mount -v -o noperm,unc="\\192.168.5.6\Devices",username=public,password=public -t cifs none "/mnt/obb/WD" (CIFS)
On the new FTV2, rooted, with Busybox and running RBox's latest ROM, both the above commands (running under SU) gives me an error "Device Not Found"... I searched and found that folks talk about these 3 things that might affect the mounting..
1. Related to SELINUX.. (I have tried "setenforce permissive", but that does not fix it)
2. Related to new permission paradigm on Android 5.1 where writes to external devices is prohibited by default. Not sure how it would affect mounting, but.....
3. ROM has no CIFS/NFS modules loaded.
Another data point, I can navigate to my shared folder on NAS using ES File Explorer, though. I also tried mounting to a different location "/mnt/sdcard/WD" instead of in "/mnt/obb", but that doesn't work either.
I have another FTV in a different room (first generation rooted FTV running the last pre-rooted ROM from RBox for FTV 1) and the above commands run fine. So my guess it has to do something with Lollipop... But I am not sure about the reason and I don't know how to go about fixing it. Any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks.
It will probably be the write permissions on lollypop mate, if say for instance I wanted to download something to my sd card (internal,external or usb device) via kids it won't write! But if I download it within inside the kodi files by making a new folder & set the download there it will download, & then I can transfer it to my internal, external or usb device. This is probably why you can't use your Nas in that directory? I don't know how or what Nas is properly (I'm thinking its a storage sharing unit which can be pushed or received?) Try what I said & maybe you might have some luck doing it this way?
Hope this helps, If so press that thanks button.

AFTV2 don't support any Network File Systems on kernel level (if I'm right understand from kernel source)
Ok, I guess the support for NFS or CIFS is not there in FTV2. I ran "cat /proc/filesystems" and I don't see NFS or NFS4 or CIFS... On the older FTV1, I do see them in the filesystems file. Wow. Any workarounds?
I even tried mounting using CIFS to a test shared folder my Windows 10 laptop and thats a no go too..
This is for Kodi. I move all its files to the NAS to run it and save the space on FTV. I have now started to use SDCard1 location to accomplish it as NAS does not seem to be an option in FTV2. But the strange thing is, if I add a source in Kodi using "Network File System (NFS)" option, I can navigate to my NAS fine.. Any way to know the command Kodi uses when you add a source like that?
ES File Explorer (for example) can see network shares too
Sorry to revive this old thread but I'm running into the same problem. I want to mount my network share to the fire tv 2 but neither cifs nor nfs worked... It used to work fine with my old firetv.
Any work arounds?
This is a very old thread, but I am bummed I can't run a network file server on my ftv2 stick and have to resort to using DLNA which just isn't quite the same.
