Just received my raspberry pis and trying to mount my shared folders but not having much luck so far. Followed the instructions set out here - http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/Mounting-MyCloud-EX2-on-a-Linux-desktop/td-p/730120 but receiving the error “mount(2): Protocol not supported…”. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Found the solution myself. For some reason while the OP in linked thread needed to put full path (i.e. /mnt/HD) etc I just needed to put my local IP/share folder for it to work.
So my fstab file has been edited to include:
//[local.IP]/Audio /home/pi/Audio cifs credentials=/home/pi/.credentials,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0
Note with the “credentials=” part I seperately created a .credentials file with:
username=[WD user with access to share]
password=[user’s password]
Ran sudo mount -a and it is now all working fine with no errors. What has been other folk’s experience with this - did you need to put full path name or just the shared folder name?
