Hi ,

I have configured a cloud storage in existing centos server ......

I have the fstab entry as ..

vim /etc/fstab

//503037.cloud.storage.gogrid.com/503037 /mnt/cloudstorage cifs file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777,uid=apache,gid=apache,userid=908978,passwd=ertbghshsa;

then i have given the mount command to check the mount point its ok ..no error..

While moving the datas to the storage...using the command...

# scp -rp --preserve stgkb_1406.tgz /mnt/cloudstorage

its gives error...

cp: failed to preserve ownership for `/mnt/cloudstorage/stgkb_1406.tgz': Permission denied

even after moving the data ownership and file $ folders permission is different ...like this..

-rw------- 1 10812 bin 5.8G Jun 14 10:30 stgkb-2013.tgz


please help me how to move the data with the ownership and file or folder permission as it is...

Probably because the uid/gid & user/group names are different between the systems.
More to the point, regardless of the user/group names, the files are moved by uid/gid (by num) and that name/num match probably doesn't exist identically on both systems.

Actually i am moving the files within the same server to additional cloud storage...which is mounted on the system.

Are you using scp or cp? You show scp as a cmd, but a cp error.
If the storage is mounted within the same machine, cp should be sufficient.

Actually, looking closer, you've got a mount of type 'cifs', which would indicate MSWin (probably NTFS).
The Linux filesystems and ntfs have different ideas/concepts about 'ownerships/permissions', so this isn't unexpected.
