Hi NixOS discourse,
I’m encountering issues with CIFS shares on NixOS using BSPWM. Previously, this setup worked on the base GNOME configuration.
Issues:
-
Nautilus error when mounting CIFS shares:
Error spawning command-line `mount "/mnt/<...>"`: Failed to execute child process "mount" (No such file or directory)
-
Double mounting of CIFS shares:
Shares appear twice in Nautilus sidebar. dmesg shows:[ 1077.833546] CIFS: Attempting to mount //192.168.68.115/Public [ 1077.874463] CIFS: enabling forceuid mount option implicitly because uid= option is specified [ 1077.874465] CIFS: enabling forcegid mount option implicitly because gid= option is specified [ 1077.874466] CIFS: Attempting to mount //192.168.68.115/Public [ 1102.957021] CIFS: enabling forcegid mount option implicitly because gid= option is specified
Relevant config:
{
environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.cifs-utils pkgs.nautilus ];
security.wrappers."mount.cifs" = {
program = "mount.cifs";
source = "${lib.getBin pkgs.cifs-utils}/bin/mount.cifs";
owner = "root";
group = "root";
setuid = true;
};
sops.secrets."smb-secrets".owner = "${user}";
fileSystems = let
common = [
"noauto"
"x-gvfs-show"
"x-systemd.automount"
"credentials=${config.sops.secrets.smb-secrets.path}"
"uid=${toString config.users.users."${user}".uid}"
"gid=${toString config.users.groups.users.gid}"
"user"
"users"
];
in {
"/mnt/share/Personal" = {
device = "//${nas-vpn-ip}/${capitalize user}";
fsType = "cifs";
options = common;
};
"/mnt/share/Shared" = {
device = "//${nas-vpn-ip}/Public";
fsType = "cifs";
options = common;
};
};
networking.firewall = {
enable = lib.mkForce false; # debugging
allowedTCPPorts = [ 139 445 ];
allowedUDPPorts = [ 137 138 ];
};
}
Relevant /etc/fstab
entry:
//192.168.68.115/Public /mnt/share/Shared cifs noauto,x-gvfs-show,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60,x-systemd.device-timeout=5s,x-systemd.mount-timeout=5s,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,x-systemd.after=network-online.target,credentials=/run/secrets/smb-secrets,uid=1002,gid=100,user,users 0 0
How can I:
- Make the
mount
command available for Nautilus? - Prevent the double mounting of CIFS shares?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!
