Network share only for root?
 

I have network share which is listed in fstab as
File fstab is owned by root, as it should be (I believe).
Folder /fnd, when not mounted, is owned by user darkduck.
But once mounted this folder is owned by root.
Hence, I cannot edit, delete, move files within this folder, unless I do something like gksudo nautilus or sudo mc.
I tried to mount adding uid=1000,gid=1000 parameters. This allows me to create files, but not edit or delete them afterwards.

Folder itself is on the external network drive with hardware built-in samba. There is no user/password configuration for access on drive side.

Actually I was able to work normally with this folder until recent. But then situation changed, I don't know why and when.

Same situation for Ubuntu 10.10 and Debian 6.0.

I searched for solution, but only found unresolved topics.

Hi darkduck, Welcome to LQ. Have you tried adding a umask option or dmask & fmask options to your fstab?

Good luck. ;-)

umask option is not available for cifs.
dmode and fmode are deprecated.
Anyway, thanks for the direction.
Sorted issue in Debian with
Will try in (K)Ubuntu. If does not work, will come back.

Glad you got it sorted.

Good luck. ;-)
