I have two OMV-servers, one running with the newest stable version 4.1.8.2-1 ("Arrakis") and the other one with 2.2.14 (Stone Burner) since it's a 32Bit system. I have created a folder "dreambox" shared with CIFS on both systems which I'd like to mount on my dreambox (dm800se running Newnigma2 v4.0.1 0201-40-50). But, I can only mount the folder from the old system on the dreambox, when I try to mount the newer one I get a "permission denied".
Both folders are configured in the same way, and I can mount both of them on my Linux system (Linux MINT 18), so, I'd supposed that maybe somethhing's changed in the default CIFS parameters from Stone Burner to Arrakis which prevents the dreambox from mounting the folder on the Arrakis system?
Unfortunately, there's no logging info on the OMV system, all SMB logs in /var/log/samba are empty - and on the dreambox, all I can find is

this works only for the older system, but not for the new one. I've also tried without a password on the command line, supposing it would ask for a password - but that does not happen, it states "Permission denied" immediately after issuing the command, without asking anything.

many thanks for your fast reply which pointed me in the right direction.
ntlm_auth=yes itself didn't help, but I played a bit with the sec-option, and it turned out that sec=ntlmssp did the trick. So, I ended up with the following command which mounted the share without any problems:

And, regarding the 32bit machine, this was just my first approach to try OMV since I had an old 32Bit box lyin' around - the 64Bit system will replace it, so it's ok to have it running with the old version until it's replaced.

Thankfully not every screen was this involved, but when they were, she would often skip a step. For example, she would build the number on the math rack and then jump down to the green arrow, forgetting to also select the number on the number track.

Perhaps I should have said nothing and let her fail at the task. Since the system is adaptive, it might have shifted her back to other activities. However, considering how quickly the system brought her to this point in the first place, my guess is that after another activity or two she would have been prompted with these same directions.

I opted to explain to her what the phrase meant and she was able to start doing it on her own with the math rack. It was definitely more confusing with the ten frame, but even then I started seeing her grab larger chunks of dots rather than just counting out one at a time.

I love the side dish analogy. One of my biggest issues with computer programs is when people try to force them to be a steak when they should really be a salad. My students are annoyed when asked to work with the program instead of working with me more than once a week. They miss the discussion, challenges, and problem solving. With me they experience lessons. On Dreambox they practice and are assessed.

FWIW, I think ST Math is probably a strong app (have a quick reference at the end of my dreambox review). However, we opted not to subscribe to ST Math when our subscription to DreamBox ended. Instead, we are focusing our time on non-electronic activities, especially board games, building materials, and baking.

Dreambox has inspired many teachers to compose and decompose and subitize numbers in a greater variety of ways, which is good! Dreambox at home has inspired some parents to play more dice games, as you mentioned, which is GREAT!

Wonderful comment! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences in a school setting since the program is designed specifically for school-age children. Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed account of your own experiences. I appreciate it!
