    OFcrankin - 2022-02-09

    Hello, thank you in advance. Smb4k version 3.1.1, Kubuntu 21.1.

    I have a samba share on an external hard drive connected to my router. Smb4k does not find this share, but Dolphin can see it. So, I'm attempting to mount it using the "mount dialog". BTW, this is a smb 1 share, I have set the min and max in smb.conf, and also in Smb4k settings. I'm using a smb URL and IP address. I get the following error:

    Mounting the share xxx on 192.xxx failed:mount error: Server abruptly closed the connection.
    This can happen if the server does not support the SMB version you are trying to use.
    The default SMB version recently changed from SMB1 to SMB2.1 and above. Try mounting with vers=1.0.
    mount error(112): Host is down
    Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

    What am I doing wrong?

      Please try what is suggested in the error message:

      Try mounting with vers=1.0.

      To do so, please go to the configuration dialog and open the "Mounting" page. Under "SMB protocol version" choose "1.0 (Classic CIFS/SMBv1 protocol)" from the drop-down menu. Apply the change and retry.

      If that does not work, please drop a note.
