      I can't seem to add a SMB share as a remote on XenOrchestra
      XO-Server 5.3.3
      XO-Web 5.3.2

      The NAS I'm attaching is not part of the domain and has a local username and password assigned to the shared folder.

      I'm thinking it's the Domain part that's causing the issue but it won't let me leave it blank.

        Are you using the FQDN domain name, or the NetBIOS domain name?

          You need to change the path..

          It would be your IP address, and in the next box the individual sub folder.

              On the backend (via XO CLI) it may be adding an extra \ to the front....

              I know this was an issue with prior versions, and I haven't had to add storage to my host for sometime. You can check the mount points directly, and manually mount them, then back in the web console just connect to it.

                What is the error message? Anything showing in Settings > Logs?

                FWIW, there was a recent issue over on GH dealing with SMB remote failing.

                  For now I can use NFS but the NAS i'm using doesn't allow advanced options just Read/Write to everyone lol.

                  How would I check via CLI???

                    What distro do you have XO installed to?

                        Typing mount at the cli will list all of your mounts.

                        Sloppy but it should work on most systems.

                          If I "mount" the share manually via the shell/cli will it appear in the web gui?

                            @hobbit666 It will be available to mount, I don't know if it will be added automatically.

                              SMB share are not mounted in the system, we are talking directly to the share in Javascript using SMB protocol.

                              About the OP, I don't understand what is the issue.I need more input to understand why you "can't add a SMB share" 😉

                                @olivier Don't worry as I think it's a NAS issue with Linux as I can't mount the share on any Linux system (well I've tried 2 Ubuntu machines and 3 CentOS machines), they all fail so will leave it at NFS share for now, as it's not easy mounted by non windows people.
