Mount a folder from host? no FUSE?

[jerzydziewierz]

Hi Friends,

I am trying to mount a folder from my host laptop to the red pitaya, so that i can devel my software on laptop, and simplify file transfer later on,

from the point of view of RP,
First, i tried samba; i can log in and load/store files to the host using smb command, but it won't mount a folder permamently. I was pondering on this for a while and it turned out that RP probably does not have "fuse" instaled;

Code: Select all

redpitaya> mount.cifs //10.42.0.1 /mnt/host -o user=jurek,pass=xxxxxx
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

but cifs-utils is installed. I have probed this more and someone suggested to verify that "fuse" is installed.

Code: Select all

redpitaya> modprobe fuse
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:557 kmod_search_moddep() could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/3.18.0-xilinx/modules.dep.bin'

So, i gave up and tried sshfs:

Code: Select all

redpitaya> sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions jurek@10.42.0.1:/ /mnt/host
fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first

so I am at the same point.

How to resolve problem with modprobe? how to install fuse?
I am a power user but do not know about how linux kernel is organised yet.

Could try the workaround (replacing uImage) that I proposed in this post?

ok, now sshfs appears to work OK for purpose of seeing host files from RP,

samba still gives me the same error but i am going to give up for now

Code: Select all

redpitaya> mount -t cifs //10.42.0.1/gitrepo /mnt/host2
Password for root@//10.42.0.1/gitrepo:  
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Looking at the error message, I'd say that CIFS support is missing. Have you installed cifs-utils?

Code: Select all

apt-get install cifs-utils

Correction. CIFS should be enabled in the Linux kernel. I'll add it to my patches.

I've added CIFS to my kernel patches and rebuilt uImage. It can be downloaded from the same link as before:

Hi Pavel,

That's awesome, thank You,


By the way,
I am Your student now - I will need to customize your SDR code for my project. I trust that that's OK with you. I will share my findings
