Configure TubeArchivist

I'm finally able to come back to this and try to figure out why I was getting Error (5) input/output as an error message when mounting a network drive. I tried a number of different suggestions I found online but none of them were able to help me. After spending about 30 minutes on this today I had a thought, does my fileserver have a limit set on the number of connections that can be made to the server? To test this theory I booted up a test Windows virtual machine and tried to connect from my david account, which I know is a working account. This gives me the error message: No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept.

Bingo! So now I have a better understanding of the problem. I just have to remember how you change that limit, it's been so long since I've had to change that setting on a Windows Server Machine.
Steps performed on FILESERVER

• I open Explorer
• I right click on the share
• I click on Properties
• I navigate to the Sharing tab
• I click on Advanced Sharing

And there it is. Limit the number of simultaneous users to: 5.

• Change Limit the number of simultaneous users from 5 to 250.

Then I go back to my test Windows machine using my david account I am able to connect to the network share. Victory! Jumping back over to TUBEARCHIVIST-01 to test and I am successful there as well. So I quickly revert the share settings on TUBEARCHIVIST-01 back to what I had listed last time.

So now I actually have the network share mounted, but I notice that nothing is showing up inside the share like I'm expecting. When I try to unmount it I get a target busy error.

Steps performed on TUBEARCHIVIST-01

• sudo umount -f /mnt/Youtube
  • umount: /mnt/Youtube: target is busy

When I start to look into this my desktop becomes very unresponsive. If I switch to my fileserver it is also very unresponsive. That's weird I haven't done anything that should be causing so much grief. The one thing I notice on the fileserver is that CALIBRE-01 is connected, which is weird because I thought I couldn't get the Calibre Server to work with a network mount. I seem to be quite unlucky with this project, rabbit holes keep popping up. Alright, since Calibre Server won't play nice with a network mount it doesn't need a network mount so let's get rid of that.

Steps performed on CALIBRE-01

• sudo umount -l /mnt/calibre-library
• sudo reboot

I try to go back to my fileserver at this point and see if the list of sessions has updated, but it hasn't. Why is Explorer on my fileserver so unresponsive all of a sudden? I do a quick google search on this. If I can fix it in a few minutes, that will help speed up getting TUBEARCHIVIST fixed. It looks like disabling NetBIOS on my fileserver will resolve the issue. In fact, when I disable NetBIOS it does resolve the unresponsiveness in Explorer. I am now able to confirm that the network share that had been setup on CALIBRE-01 is now removed.

Ok, now I need to get back to this project. I have a sneaking suspicion that my trouble on TUBEARCHVIST-01 is due to a bad username/password combination. I retype the username and password, then I reboot TUBEARCHIVIST-01. The mount is now working! Hooray!

So I download a test file in TubeArchivist, but it does not save the file into my network mount. Ugh! Ahhh, a typo from when I changed the mount point from /mnt/youtube to /mnt/Youtube trying to fix my previous problems. That fixes that problem, which seems like this makes it a good place to stop for today.
