cifs

lelunicu · 09-02-2019, 09:08 AM

hi,
in /etc/fstab i have

//10.140.50.183/test /y cifs rw,credentials=/etc/pwcifs,mapchars, uid=test,gid=test,dir_mode=0750,file_mode=0640,_netdev,vers=1.0

I like to know what is the command line equivalent to this entry in /etc/fstab.

is
mount -t cifs -o username=test,password=<passwd>

Code:

I am not sure if _netdev makes much sense for a manual mount. It can probably be left out.

if it was put in /etc/fstab you only need to enter:

Code:

mount /y

if you want to know the command without that fstab entry see the previous post.

hi,
this mean that /y will be owned by uid=test,gid=test and the directory and file mode is dir_mode=0750,file_mode=0640?

Ability to find and read documentation is a fundamental skill of anybody working in IT. In the spirit of "teaching how to fish", let's have a look at the manual page.

Code:

uid=arg
   sets the uid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem.
...
gid=arg
    sets the gid that will own all files on the mounted filesystem.
...
file_mode=arg
    If the server does not support the CIFS Unix extensions,
    this overrides the default file mode.
...
dir_mode=arg
    If the server does not support the CIFS Unix extensions,
    this overrides the default mode for directories.

So yes, /y and all files under it will be owned by uid/gid. File and directory modes may or may not be determined by file_mode and dir_mode, respectively, depending on the file server.

hi,
it is my mistake to ask this question-i was a bit lazy-i know to search in documentation.maybe you thought i am a beginner-this is not the case.i seen the resuilt immediately after i asked this question.here is no possibility to delete a question.
