Mount cifs share

nikkon

Hi all,
quick question: how can i mount a share from my NAS (cifs) in pfsense?
mount -t cifs is not working. mount_smbf not working.
thx

You can't, those components aren't included in 2.2.x and prior versions.

mount_smbfs is included in 2.3 though, we don't strip quite as much of FreeBSD base components there.

Im trying to mount a cifs share on pfsense 2.3.2p1, with no success. I tried for now:

mount_smbfs -I 20.14.11.12 //dti@dti/webcarlos /mnt/storage
mount_smbfs: kldload(smbfs): No such file or directory

or laod the module
kldload smbfs
kldload: can't load smbfs: No such file or directory

I also tried setting up an entry on fstab, and credentials on /.nsmbrc with no success.
//dti@dti/webcarlos/proxy/ /mnt/storage smbfs rw,noauto,-I=20.14.11.12 0 0
or even
//dti@dti/webcarlos/proxy/ /mnt/storage cifs rw,noauto,-I=20.14.11.12 0 0

Is it possible on pfsense 2.3.x to mount external storage of any kind? How?

I think you can find the module in the upstream FreeBSD releases.

Though, I'd urge aginst using smb on pfSense, but I'm no expert.

Based on my own experiences I wouldn't use mount_smbfs on pfSense, it's a stability hazard at best that you don't want to have on a security critical system.
