Mounting CIFS with write permissions

alkos333 · 12-28-2008, 11:19 AM

Code:

root@tpt60:~# umask
0022
root@tpt60:~# mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100/SharedDocs /mnt/cifs --verbose -o guest,user=me,uid=me,gid=users,rw
parsing options: rw,guest,user=me,uid=1000,gid=100

mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//192.168.1.100\SharedDocs,ip=192.168.1.100,ver=1,rw,guest,user=me,uid=1000,gid=100 
root@tpt60:~# ls -ld /mnt/cifs
dr-xr-xr-x 1 me users 0 2008-12-26 12:07 /mnt/cifs/

Why aren't there write permissions for /mnt/cifs ? I can't write to the share with a regular user "me"

Is your share mounted rw on the server? I'm using "user" security in my smb.conf. Here is the way I mount on the server:

Quote:

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hal ntfs-3g auto,uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=007,fmask=117

Then on the client (in /etc/fstab):

Quote:

//server/hal /mnt/hal cifs auto,credentials=/home/user/.creds,nobrl

My credentials file is:

Quote:

username=user
password=passwd

The ids & masks are automagically the same on the client as on the server.

This is a windows XP share though.

This fixed it for me when using autofs

I tried disabling the Unix Extensions, but that didn't help. It still doesn't show write permissions after I re-mount the windows share.

This worked fine prior to 12.2 upgrade.

To get the write access for the user who will be using the mount you need to assign the uid and gid options when creating the mount (example):

mount.cifs //server/share /home/mrodri/mountpoint -o rw,credentials=/home/mrodri/.creds,gid=502,uid=502

//server/share is the servername and share that you want to connect to
/home/mrodri/mountpoint is the mountpoint at folder mountpoint of user mrodri
credentials point to a hidden file .creds of a format like:
username=mrodri
password=_password_
domain=_NTdomain_
uid and gid are the user id and group id assigned by linux to the mrodri user. Check those with your user administration program, centos 6, system-administration-users and groups

this worked for me.
