So I’m using the Ubuntu 22.04 image and I need to mount a network filesystem with CIFS however the current ubuntu image doesn’t have the CIFS modules and these cannot be installed from the repo. Does anyone know where I can get CIFS modules for this kernel and how to install them? Or maybe a ubuntu image compatible with Banana PI R3 that comes with CIFS modules?
3 options here:
-
Build the cifs fs module using dkms. I see there is a good example here at section 2.
-
Totally rebuild the kernel with cifs fs enabled. See here at linux section
-
Maybe it can be added to the default build @frank-w ? I recently added it as well to my R64 kernel build. Actually a whole bunch:

+CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_KERBEROS5=y
+CONFIG_CODA_FS=m
+CONFIG_AFS_FS=m
+CONFIG_AFS_DEBUG=y
+CONFIG_AFS_DEBUG_CURSOR=y
I can add it,but i’m unsure if my kernel is compatible with vendor image
Ow, I confused that image with your image…
Guess option 1 remains for that image.
Option 2 would need to refer to BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R3-bsp-5.15 (github.com)
Basicly you can use my debian image, backup modules,clean root-partition and add ubuntu 22.4 rootfs created by debootstrap and copy modules back again
I have an aarch64 ubuntu 22.4 on my gdrive which can be used as base
I could expand my ArchLinux script to R3 also, but I don’t have one to test it…
You can use uboot/atf/base-image from my uboot-repo
This is how i created it:
How this is created and how to change it (chroot):
Hello
First and foremost, i want to say that i am new to this kernel/OS/bootloader hacking and that i may put some stupid questions or be unable to understand some explanations of yours. Sorry for something.
I am also using BPI R3 with the need to mount both CIFS and WEBDAV (which uses FUSE) filesystems. So i guess i need 2 kernel modules with at the time, are not installed in your ubuntu kernel. Since this thread is about CIFS, lets stick to that. I tried compiling the kernel with CIFS (and FUSE) support from this instructions:
When build.sh finished it gave me 4 options to choose what i want to do with the compiled kernel, from which i choose install to SD-card (2). I inserted an sd card with this image (ubuntu 22.04 taken from banana pi wiki):
Install seemed OK but after i load it back in the bpi, i get the boot log below. Now, on the repository, i see this:
you can also install direct to sd-card which makes a backup of kernelfile, here you have to change your uEnv.txt if you use a new filename (by default it’s containing kernelversion
But i donmt really know what to change in uEnv.txt.
Help is much apreciated.
Thanks advance!

The repo above is uboot (bootloader) not linux kernel…
Looks like vendor image uses different partition number for rootfs
Im sorry. My mistake. Already fixed it. Its this repo
Also, when you say vendor, you mean this ubuntu image that im using, taken from banana pi wiki?
Yes, i’m not from bpi so my image is not vendor,but had only did a debian image,but basicly steps are same. You could use the debian image and replace rootfs with the ubuntu from the tar-file (need some adjustments like root-pw,fstab before first bootup like stated on my wiki page) and install newer kernel with the modules you want
OK. Sounds good. can you point me to your debian image?
Easiest way should be flashing it, replug card to read partitions (make sure the flash was really finished before). Move all files in BPI-ROOT partition in a subfolder,unpack the ubuntu to the partition and copy back modules from the debian-rootfs.
The chroot into the mount directory to set root-pw…fstab can be copied. Then the card should boot ubuntu
Clone the kernel-repo on your host,make the steps with build.sh (importconfig,config,build,install-last 2 can be done together without param) and change your uenv to the filename you have defined
Thanks. I have some questions.
1- When you say move the files in BPI-ROOT partition to a subfolder, you mean a subfolder on that partition or delete from the sd card?
2- By unpack the ubuntu to the partition, you mean copy the files that were generated by build.sh (BPI-ROOT directory)
3- Copy modules from debian-rootfs. I assume that debian-rootfs is the root filesystem that we backed up on step 1? And which modules?
Thakns and sorry for so many questions
-
create a folder in BPI-ROOT and move all content currently on BPI-ROOT (except this new folder) into it. So that you have a clean ubuntu in root (not overriding any files and have files from debian between ubuntu ones).
-
ubuntu roofs files is the tar from my gdrive or if you have created your own with debootstrap
-
modules are in /lib/modules where /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib afair…just copy the modules folder from the debian backup into same location in ubuntu (e.g. cp -r deb-backup/lib/modules /lib)
Last step is only necessary if you want to try ubuntu-rootfs with my kernel…you can also compile your own kernel and install it with build.sh to card…but i prefer to separate the steps replace-rootfs and replace-kernel
Do you really need Ubuntu? Is it not okay to run Debian? It will make it much more easier…
Im ok with Debian. Just need the kernel to have CIFS and FUSE. And of course normal network functionality working
Then you can just use Frank’s image and ‘only’ need to build your own kernel with the options cifs and fuse enabled.
OK. That sounds more simple.
In that case, i assume these are the steps (please correct if im wrong): 1- flash SD card with the debian 11 image from this link (taken from frank post above)
2- Build kernel from this link with CIFS and FUSE enabled https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Linux/tree/6.1-main
3- Can i use the copy to SD card? or I need to manually mount the SD card with Debian image and replace contents from partitions BPI_ROOT and BPI_BOOT from the ones generated by build.sh when choosing option1 (pack)
