I thought I understood this (and even had it working under previous
versions of pCP), but I've been struggling for a couple of hours now so
I figured it was time to ask for advice.
On my LMS server device (Pi4 4GB running the 64-bit pCP7,
IP=192.168.1.4) I have an EXT4 USB disk drive (/dev/sda1) mounted as
/mnt/Music.
I have a second RPi (1GB version also running the 64-bit pCP7) which I'm
setting up to run nightly backup scripts. I'd like to mount the
server's /mnt/Music over the network, e.g. as /mnt/RemoteMusic.
I have no need to access /mnt/Music from any other machines (Windows,
Mac etc) except over FileZilla from my Macbook, which works
out-of-the-box without me having to configure anything on the server.
Given these requirements, what's the definitive/best/correct method to
set things up? Is it to share /mnt/Music over samba on the server, and
then mount it as a CIFS drive on the second RPi? Or is there a better
'Linux-specific' method?
If samba is the way to go, what are the correct settings? As said, I
thought I understood this but whatever I try the disk will not mount on
the second RPi - I seem to get a 'Permission Denied' error.
I've had numerous attempts, but here's a snapshot of my current attempt.
What am I doing wrong?
This is my current setup on the host. I've set 'Create File Mode' to
0777 in an effort to eliminate permissions errors, and I've made sure
not to set 'Read ONLY' for the same reason. Having set up the share,
only then is the password option enabled, but I've set that to 'piCore'
and saved it.

And this is my current setup on the remote RPi. Again, the password was
entered as piCore and saved.

Both RPi devices are wired to the same network, and both have cifs-utils
installed (just another of my blind attempts to get this working). I've
also tried specifying vers=2.0 and vers=3.0 alongside the uid and gid
options. After rebooting the server then the second Pi, I get this
error in pcp-boot.log.
Code:

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log
messages (dmesg)

--------------------
Ultimately my intention is to mount and unmount this remote disk via a
command line on the second Pi, so that it can be part of the nightly
backup script. One reason for this is because I found (with my previous
working setup, obviously) that the second Pi takes a very long time to
shut down if the remote disk is mounted, so I wanted to make sure it was
unmounted whenever it wasn't actively in use.
