Failed to mount (inactive): mount error(13) when mounting CIFS from Synology
-
@nebulon found it!
It doesn't like my super strong password, which contains special characters
When I wrap the password in "..." it accepts it!

@3246 Can you tell us what special characters it has? Does it have a comma or double/single quote ? From what I read from the man pages:
https://manpages.debian.org/testing/systemd/systemd.mount.5.en.html says
Mount options to use when mounting. This takes a comma-separated list of options. This setting is optional. Note that the usual specifier expansion is applied to this setting, literal percent characters should hence be written as "%%".. https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/systemd-system.conf.5.html has the specifier table. It has no special meaning for double quotes AFAICT.https://linux.die.net/man/8/mount.cifs says
Note that a password which contains the delimiter character (i.e. a comma ',') will fail to be parsed correctly on the command line. However, the same password defined in the PASSWD environment variable or via a credentials file (see below) or entered at the password prompt will be read correctly.. So, maybe we have to create a credentials file for this to be reliable. -

@3246 ok, https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.syntax.html has some more.
Can you please try
systemd-escape <your-password>and use that instead of quoting in the mount file? If that works, I can fix up our code accordingly. -

It works OK on the command line, where I can escape it using double quotes or just pasting it in the prompt when running interactively.
I will have a go with a test user and suitably complex password and report back, after trying the 'system-escape' option.

@3246
thanks for trying! If you don't mind trying one more approach:- Create a credentials file like:
username=username password=password- Then in the systemd mount file, do
Options=credentials=/path/to/credentialsfile,..other options...
See articles like https://askubuntu.com/questions/1119819/how-do-i-use-a-credential-file-for-cifs-in-etc-fstab
I think we should do one of these:
-
When complex passwords are entered in UI, we can inform the user about this limitation, so they don't end up with your situation.
-
If credential file works, we will fix the code to use that approach.

@girish OK, slowly for those of us who don't read too well ;D
Do you mean /etc/fstab or some other way to put the options line in? I am familiar with the former but even after DuckDuckGoing for 2min not that much more clued in about the latter.
What do I do in the GUI?

@3246 ha ha, sorry about that. Let me see if I can make a patch instead and test locally with special characters, might be easier.

I have a similar issue when connecting to a Hetzner StorageBox system:
Failed to mount (inactive): mount error(128): Key has been revoked Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)My settings are the following:
Any tips on how to get this fixed? The git commit is some months old so I thought this might be already included in the latest Cloudron release?

I think the error is coming from Hetzner . Did you possible revoke your existing key? Maybe you can generate new keys and try?

@girish does key mean the password I received for the login? Or does it mean the authentication with an SSH Private / public key pair?
This would also be possible on Hetzner Storage Box, but is not what I have configured. I am curious because in my understanding a password cannot be revoked, while a private key could be revoked, but is nothing I am using right now.
I will check the credentials again and will let you know the results.

Jay@jayonrails SSH and SAMBA access haven’t been enabled yet, therefore it didn’t worked. After enabling it, everything works perfectly.
