Strugging to set up network share. Help?
-
I recently purchased a Synology NAS device and I'm trying to set things up so that I can access my roms from it. I have set up SMB file services on it. The name of my device is MyDrive and I have a shared folder called emulation that contains a folder called roms. This roms folder is a mirror of the ~/RetroPie/roms folder on my RetroPie. I'm trying to follow the guide here:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-Network-Share/#troubleshooting
I've been using Method 2 since my Raspberry Pi is version 3. I've also tried following the steps here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
Although the second guide is similar to the first.
In both cases, when I try to run sudo mount -a, I get an error saying:
mount error(2): No such file or directory
I've tried this using guest account credentials as well as another user. Both fail. I'm suspicious that my RetroPie somehow can't see my network share. I've made sure that I enabled "wait for network on boot". And I can ping the ip address of my Synology device. However, any way I attempt to access the share through the command line seems to fail. I'm still a noobie with linux, so I don't know the exact syntax, but trying variations of smb://192.168.x.x, smb://192.168.x.x/emulation, //192.168.x.x/emulation all produce errors.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I feel like there's some setting that I'm missing, but not sure what it could be. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
Edit: I should add that I can access the emulation shared folder through Windows by navigating to My PC > Network

I seem to have fixed this somehow, though I'm not sure what exactly solved the issue
