@Oystein Thanks for the reponse! I got the VortexBox file shares mounted with NFS. I have copied my post from the Forums: OK, gang we have ignition and liftoff! I got the VortexBox files to mount using nfs. Had to: 1. apt-get install nfs-common 2. Edit /etc/fstab file to 192.168.0.105:/storage/music/flac /mnt/music nfs soft,intr,ro,rsize=32768 0 0 3. mount -a And the magic happened! The VortexBox flac files mounted!! I sort of followed the recipe from this link: BeagleBone Black as an MPD server I am now able to play the files into my Twisted Pear Dual Mono Opus DAC with USB receiver! Listening to Ben Webster at the moment via this front end source! Sound quality is excellent even with a standard SqueezeBox Touch (switching) power supply!Sorry about the bold font! I could not change it after cutting and pasting from my post on the Forums!

@Oystein Thanks for you reply! I have figured out how to mount the VortexBox FLAC shares with NFS and have the BeagleBoard Black Music Player up and running! See my post in the Forums under Music Servers for the details. I have to say for the $62 I have invested in this project (I already had a 5V switching PS and a nice 5V Linear Regulated PS) that the cost/performance ratio is "off the charts"! The BBB Music Player running with a nice 5V Linear Regulated PS produces exceptional sound quality. I have heard boutique equipment at the $9.5K level that can't touch this as a digital source! No fan noise or noisy computer PS! All things considered, this is a very worthwhile project in terms on time and money spent! It will replace a SqueezeBox Touch with Linear Regulated PS in one of my systems! I would encourage all who have some Linux experience to undertake this project!

Sadly, no! Neither sudo mount -a nor sudo mount /mnt/music works! Both give the same error(13): Permission denied.

Posted this under the comments to the BeagleBone Black Music Player article as well. I consistantly get error(13) permission denied when I attempt to mount music files from my VortexBox. /etc/fstab file modification: //[url="file://\\192.168.0.105\storage\music\flac"]192.168.0.105/storage/music/flac[/url] /mnt/music cifs guest,_netdev 0 0 Attempts to mount using the command: mount -a result in the above error code. I need help to figure out how to mount the VortexBox files. Thanks to all in advance!

I am having trouble mounting music files from my VortexBox on the BBB Music Server. I seem to get mount error(13) permission denied. /etc/fstab configurations that I have tried: 1) //192.168.0.XXX/storage/music/flac /mnt/music cifs defaults,username=root,password=XXXX 0 0 2) //192.168.0.XXX/storage/music/flac /mnt/music cifs guest,_devnet 0 0 No joy or mount for that matter with either fstab configuration! Any help is greatly appreciated!
