Hi,

I have a NAS on which I created a share with CIFS that has restricted access (that is: you need a username and password to access it). The reason is that I don't want any user in the network to mount this share.

On one computer I have Bacula installed to run backups. I would Bacula to store the backups on the NAS share. So I mount the share in fstab. Works fine but the share directory is not read+write for all users but only for the root (since the mount was done for the root).

The line in fstab:
\\readynas\backup /readynas cifs user,rw,password=thePassword,username=bacula,umask=017 0 0

How can I have Bacula (running as user Bacula) get read+write access to the directory representing the share?

I tried to remove access control to the share but the directory representing the mount remains readonly...

Any suggestions? I searched the forum but could not find an answer...

Found a way to work with it.
The line in fstab is now:
\\readynas\backup /media/readynas cifs password=myPassword,fmask=017,dmask=017,username=bacula 0 0

Now any user can read+write in the share folder.
Should be fine...
