I’m trying to create a safepoint on a windows share; all worked fine before, but now it doesn’t; what changed is a firmware upgrade, if I’m not mistaken.
everything worked ok, until the unit tries to mount the windows share. after quite some investigations, I found that the error is
mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I tried to follow some registry changes suggested by others that have faced the same problem while mounting windows shares under various *nix distros, but nothing changed.
Just to be clear on the matter : it worked with a previous firmware, but it no longer does with the latest update.
Any help is appreciated, since I need to create a safepoint on a USB drive attached to a windows box.
Thanks !
Yes, it’s the latest firmware (MyBookLive 02.43.10-048 : Core F/W). Tried resetting the drive several times.
There is another strange issue : the drive shows that it cannot connect to the internet lately, but I cannot link this to any other event.
When the problem started, I looked in the system logs to find more relevant information, as the webapp just tells me it cannot connect. That’s how I found the mount issue. Then I tried running it from the shell like this :
The frustrating part is now knowing more about this error.
Some googling points to references where memory issue is managed on the Windows side, but it sounds like a strange approach, even if many users report it works (for general linux distributions, not WD OS)
