Unable to mount /backups folder (Cifs)

@robi thanks but the added context not mentioned is affordable storage space that is also powered by 100% renewable energy.

@jdaviescoates that is very specific

@p44 Did you get the issue sorted with the Hetzner Storage Box? I am facing the same problem and cannot work out why it is not mounting. "Samba Shares" and "External Reachability" are enabled but I keep getting the error 'mount: bad usage'.

@ccfu Which Storage Box datacenter are you using? Source data is hosted on Hetzner, or on a different provider?

@p44 The Storage Box is in Falkenstein. The Cloudrons I am attempting to set this up with are also both with Hetzner, one in Falkenstein, the other in Nuremberg.

@ccfu
First of all, let's try to reproduce my working configuration:

On Hetzner:

1. Create a subfolder in root Hetzner Box Folder
2. Create a Hetzner Box Sub User (eg. sub1)
3. Assign Sub User to created subfolder
4. Enable Samba to Sub1 user

On Cloudron instance:

1. create /backups_cifs dir

Then, add this row in etc/fstab:

//u123456-sub1.your-storagebox.de/u123456-sub1 /backups_cifs cifs  uid=yellowtent,gid=yellowtent,user=u123456-sub1,pass=PASSWORD,iocharset=utf8,x-systemd.automount  0  0

Where:
u123456 is the Hetzner Box ID
sub1 is the sub user name
PASSWORD is Hetzner Box given password

@p44 I'd recommend trying the instructions and mount code provided by Hetzner:

https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/storage-box/access/access-samba-cifs/

That's what I did and it's been working fine.

@jdaviescoates @p44
Many thanks. I'll look at this again later today and report back.

[p44]

@jdaviescoates Thank's, I pasted my current working configuration

[p44]

@ccfu Let us know

@p44 @jdaviescoates Got it working. Thanks for your help!
