Access ZFS SMB Share from Android

[Nemesis_001]

Hi,

Are any of you ZFS users able to access the SMB shares exported from ZFS through Android? I have no problem accessing them through Windows PC, but I am always getting bad username or password with any software I could find on Android.

Accessing Windows share though from Android is ok. Really confused.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

No solution but I have exactly the same problem.

Use DLNA instead?

What SMB/CIFS solution are you using? Samba?

I believe it's sharesmb.

There's no DLNA support with Napp-it to the best of my knowledge.

You can use the app I linked above for use as an SMB client, and you can use http://www.appbrain.com/app/samba-filesharing/com.funkyfresh.samba as an SMB server.

Are you putting your Domain/workgroup before your username?

I have tried with AndSMB for quite a while, not working. Same bad username or password.

Using a workgroup. Tried with & without workgroup name in the username as "Workgroup\User" or with a seperate field in some programs, or omitting it entirely. Anything I tried fails.

I ran across this recently. Had to root my tablet and install a custom ROM to gain CIFS support in the kernel.

Once I did that, it was as simple as downloading CIFS manager (free) at the apps store, and BS Player light (same place, same price).

I am on a rooted ROM with CIFS support kernel, but still not working

Have you tried the proper credentials line, such as:

smb://WORKGROUP;Userassword/Share

 

[dilidolo]

I have Google Nexus and I have no problem to access CIFS on ZFS. I use ES File Explore.

smb://WORKGROUP;Userassword/Share

Can you please let me have an example how to pass this to command line?
By the way, using XBMC application, I can access the cifs share just fine.

Awfully strange.

I'm using a rooted Atrix 4G (neutrino rom v2.7) with CIFSmanager to connect to a share on my OI server and it works great. I did have issues with other applications until I realized that the ZFS share is CIFS and not SAMBA (SMB) and that I should be looking for an application that mounts using CIFS.

Have seen this issue with Nexenta, what OS are you using..?
With ES Filemanager I'm unable to access cifs share on Nexenta but no problems with my OI/NappIT VM

 

[Nemesis_001]

I'm using right now OI/Napp-It combo. I have CIFS manager installed, and it's still not working.
The only app that is working is XBMC.

Can you let me know what configuration you have used with OI/Napp-It? Perhaps I have configured something wrong?

 

[nostradamus99]

I'm still toying with OI/Napp-It to get the hang of the UI, I've just created a pool, created a ZFS folder and shared it through SMB without special options.
From my AC Ryan I was able to browse the share without username/password. From ES File Explorer I just browsed the network and was able to reach the share without issue..

Were you able to get a fix for ?

SAMBA supports CIFS!!
SMB->CIFS(newer than SMB)

----------------------
this is my understanding
android 2.X and 3.X need to be rooted and install cifs.ko ( you can get it or compile by yourself), I think android 4.X supports CIFS(please correct me).

since OI/open solaris variances ZFS has built-in CIFS (Not SMB aka legacy windows sharing, please make distinction between SAMBA and SMB where both are not identical), legacy SMB is not supported :.
you need to install SAMBA package to your OI and point SAMBA to share your ZFS shares.

It would seem to be a problem with OpenIndiana, or at least the way it authenticates smb connections from Android devices...

It works OK with Solaris11, but not OpenIndiana (at least not v151a5).

Same issue here, with OI and SmartOS, works fine under Solaris 11.1
