Hi

I'm a longtime user of LMS but I am in the process of installing PCP on
a Raspberry Pi4 in order to use it as a standalone, always on, LMS
server attached by USB to 3TB of music on my NAS. Presently I run LMS on
my main computer (M1 MacMini) which is not convenient. I'm not really
familiar with either Linux or Pi operating systems, but thanks to the
excellent PCP installation guides I have successfully installed PCP and
LMS is running. However I'm hitting a wall when trying to mount the NAS
drive and point PCP to its music folders. I'd be grateful for any help
or pointers from Forum members--I have searched similar issues and tried
a few fixes to no avail.

The NAS is an old Innuos Zen MKII, which used to run LMS installed on
VortexBox--(the ideal solution I'm sure, but there's another long story
as to why that's not for me.) On my mac I can see and mount the music
folders at the IP location as Volumes/files/music/flac, but on PCP it
does not automatically show as a detected USB disk, and I've clearly no
idea how to address it properly. Right now I can see and ping both the
Zen and the Pi, but I'm not able to mount it on either the Pi or my mac.
So I now have the Pi set up with a monitor and keyboard and the Console
screen shows a successful startup but with mounting errors to the effect
that "you might need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)." That of
course might be a red herring, if the address is just plain wrong. The
attached screenshot shows my latest attempt to address the USB mounted
NAS. I have tried both with CIFS and NFS and although I have enabled
Samba (i.e. PCP says it is running) I'm still not able to mount it via
SMB on either mac or Pi.

I have seen a number of solutions that suggest this is a files system
issue but none of the suggested fixes have worked for me. I'd be really
grateful for any pointers on how to get up and running or at least to
steer me in the direction of where the problems might lie. 

Thank you for reading.
