[SOLVED] qnap losing authentication

nixIT · 2011-03-07 21:58:22

Hey all,

I recently purchased a Qnap TS-410 for home use. I have it stuff with 4 2TB Seagate 5900 RPM drives (the ones QNAP recommends). I have Samba enabled on the device, and users set up within the qnap.

I can connect through Nautilus with smb://servername/sharename, and I can work as normal.

However, if left alone for a period of time, I haven't timed it yet, but I would say about 30-45 minutes), I become disconnected, and when I try to open up the mount point that is on my desktop I get the following error:

Could not display "smb://servername/sharename/". Please select another viewer and try again.

I unmount the share and remount and I'm good to go, but after a while of inactivity, I get disconnected again.

I have posted a message on qnaps forum, and thought I would try here as well since I'm running Arch (updated on 3/6/11).

any ideas, or places to look to keep me connected?

FWIW, I don't think it's related to the Qnap. I have the similar problems with Nautilus here connecting to a Qnap, Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP computers. They all exhibit the same behaviour which points more to Nautilus. I don't have issues if I mount the share using fstab, so I don't think it's Samba causing the issue.

Thanx, I am going to try the fstab. Here is what I am going to use for my fstab line, do you notice anything incorrect about it:

//srvnas/sharename    /mnt/srvnas cifs uid=nixit,credentials=/home/nixit/.creds       0 0

I use these options also:
soft,gid=users

The fstab mount point works like a charm and I stay connected to the NAS. However, the only other issue I am now experiencing is that every now and then when I copy a file, it appears that arch "stalls" for about 5 minutes. The system isn't locked up as the numlock light will turn on/off when I press the button and the mouse arrow moves.I can even move the windows.

The system seems to be "doing something", but not sure what.

Arch Linux
