Unable to mount a share containing roms

[jl2383]

Hello,

I created an SMB share from a RasberryPi3B (RP3) that I want to connect to on my RetroPie (retro).

My SMB conf on the RP3 looks like:

[share]
Comment = Shared Folder
Path = /mnt/external
Browseable = yes
Writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
Public = yes
Guest ok = yes

My roms on my RaspberryPi3 are located at /mnt/external/roms/. Permissions for that directory are 1777.

When trying to connect from the Retropie to the RP3 from retro, I am trying to use the following command:

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=something,password=something,nounix,noserverino //RP3/mnt/external/roms /home/pi/RetroPie/roms

yet I always receive:

mount error (2) No such file or directory

Ive tried following this guide with no help: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Running-ROMs-from-a-Network-Share/

Does anyone have a way to fix this or a nice tutorial I can follow? Much thanks in advance.

@jl2383 you should mount the share name not the path. So //RPI3/share

@BuZz I feel like an idiot. Thanks for the help
