Hey all,
I've been trying to mount my media drive system wide on my Mecool KM6 deluxe (4GB/64GB) and I've hit a bit of a brick wall.
Following various guides online, I was able to root my KM6 using the Magisk patching method. But when I installed busybox and tried to mount the drive (SMB), I discovered that there's no cifs support in the stock firmware. And there seems to be no custom firmware for it that does, so there's no possibility of extracting cifs.ko and installing it.
Is there a way to add cifs support, or is this a wild goose chase? Thanks.
Hi, @skorpien ! Did you manage to enable cifs support?

Hello @skorpien, may I ask how did you rooted your KM6?

Hi,
I am dying to get connected to my NAS server which has all my video/music.
Does anyone know how to make CifsManager work on Vegan-Tab 5.1?
I tried to mount my NAS share but CifsManager kept saying "Cannot access a needed share library". (is it the cifs.ko?)
Vegan-Tab 5.1 listed:
* CIFS support (allows mounting shared folders over a network) – search CIFS in the android market for apps
Does that mean I have cifs.ko in kernal already? If not, how can I get it?
Thanks in advance.

This kernel definitely has cifs support

I thought it was compiled into the kernel packaged with Vegan 5.1 beta. Is it possible you flashed an alternate kernel/boot image that doesn't have CIFS support?
If in doubt, maybe try flashing Clemsyn's kernel, where I know it's baked in.
It's in pershoot's kernel but I think CIFS support is modular there, which means you need to install the modules as well if you use that kernel.

Yes, it does. I am using it at home on Windows 7 PC's.
I concur. The default kernel for Vegan has CIFS support. I use it + Rockplayer to stream all kinds of movies and videos to my tablet.
I'm looking for NFS support on my SGT (Network file system, NOT the game...).
Tab has been rooted, running Paul's MoDaCo kernel & rom (amazing BTW), busybox and what not.
At home I'm running Ubuntu workstations and servers and know my way around linux.
However, I can't figure out how to mount my Tab to my NFS shares.
I've tried CIFS manager, ES filemanager and Mount manager, all without success. It seems to me I might be missing the correct modules. So the question is; is NFS supported in the first place? And if so, what am I overlooking?
(and could someone please post in the Modaco Kernel thread, as I don't have permission to post in dev-threads untill I spam at least 10 posts...)
[EDIT 2011-02-01]
Paul has indicated he might include NFS support in R4 of his kernel, no support in R3.
Hi
Editing post as I saw you are already on MoDaco's ROM.
Not sure about NFS but you mentioned Ubuntu..meaning you should have no trouble getting your samba server running.
With samba and MoDaCo custom Kernel you just need to pull down its "kernel modules.zip" It's a separate file containing the cifs.ko module.
Use CIFS manager (download from market) and specify where you extracted the module to (/sdcard/cifs or anywhere you want to place it).
Once cifs manager is able to load the cifs.ko module, you should be able to mount the shares
@bullyfrog Using the smb server and the cifs.ko modules is an alternative indeed, and for the time being a suitable workaround. Thank you for this tip. However, it's not what I was hoping on...
BTW NFS support will be included in next kernel, so hopefully by that time I've figured it out and will post as a Howto...
Hi,
Help me compile cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko for CifsManager.
Desire S original ROM: 1.47.401.4, kernel 2.6.35.10-g2ee27f5
Thx
p.s. S-OFF, root on, error "no such device".
please help!
For compiling kernel modules you need a working toolchain for your cpu architecture.
Try to find kernel for your device, where this module already present.
problem is solved.
1. download "2.6.35.10-gdd56551" files nls_utf8.ko, cifs.ko from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039004
2. edited HEX-string gdd56551 to g2ee27f5.
3. enjoy!
Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly does cif do?
i saw this feature present in leedroid

Hey dimkew - I just tried this per your suggestion, however I wasn't as successful as you. After files hex'ed, then put in /system/lib/modules, then set CifsManager to insmod them, it still didn't work.

Common Internet File System. Using the app CifsManager you can set file system mounts to mount a folder on your Android device to mount an SMB/CIFS Windows type network file share. You can also just use Linux commands to the mounting; but CifsManager is quick and easy to use only requiring a couple screen taps to get connected once your mounts/network shares are setup.
If you are on Android 4 and Sense ROM use my kernel it has cifs support

Hello,
I installed [ROM][JB 4.3] [ KatKiss-4.3 #018 ] [Stable] and cant get cifs mounting working.
Maybe I got something wrong but I thought cifs is natively supported by this rom and its kernel and I dont need modules to load.
Is it like that or am I really wrong?
I know that cifs is not working with cifs manager apps like mount manager or cifs manager but it should work on the console.
What do I have to do to get this working at least on the console?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Hi diddeldaddeldu,
You got some solution to this? I am in the same situation bu in KatKiss 4.2. When I mount the share by Linux it works perfectly. When I do the same at Android, It show a "Key has expired" messages... I don't know if the cifs module are really at the kernel.
Regards...

Hi guys!
Did you get this working? When I try mount with cifs manager i end up getting empty folders. Tried numerous different paths to mount based on findings here in the forums but no success. On a fresh install of Katkiss 4.3 #23 after full wipe and all that.

Hi all
This post will hopefully serve two purposes, one to help me find what Im looking for and the second to help other find similar.
Im looking for an N5 kernel that supports both CIFS and NFS, either built in or in the form of loadable modules. I have so far tried Faux and Franco, latest versions of both. I cant mount CIFS or NFS using the mount command with either of them. Are there any kernels on the N5 that support this properly?
If anyone knows any perhaps we can compile a list here so its clear which kernels support which features, searching high and low and trawling through kernel changelogs to find what I need is becoming quite laborious. Kind of makes me wonder why most kernel devs dont seem to want to publish a comprehensive feature list for their kernels, some do but most unfortunately dont.
Thanks in advance.
From what I can see there are kernels that support cifs - look in /system/lib/modules/ for cifs.ko.

I have not yet found a viable nfs module for the stock nexus, nor have I found a way to get the mount command to work.
It looks as if CM based roms may be able to deal with this, though.
Could you compile your own? If you want just to be able to simply transfer files ES File Explorer supports at least CIFS.

Thus far I've found that Faux supports NFS, I'm able to mount directly via the busybox mount command, it just required a slight modification to the syntax. Unfortunately I've still not found any that support CIFS not even one that has the loadable modules for it. And I need these for shell scripts I'm using, which operate independently of apps so the usual file manager apps are of no use.

@phobox360 could you please post your command for NFS mount? I installed hammerhead-lp-faux123-024u kernel, tried both 'mount' and 'busybox mount' , with and w/o su, but still not able to mount NFS exports. Thanks in advance.
