Hello All,

I'm having Ubuntu Server with samba sharing i want to mount that samba sharing in CentOs 6.2 Permanently in fstab but i'm unable to do that.

I'm able to mount those shares temporarily with this command,

mount -t cifs -o username=gem,password=gem123 //192.168.1.200/Utils /home/test/Desktop/Windows/

This command is running perfectly but this is not permanent.

This is my fstab file.
Kindly let me know that what entry should i use to mount it permanently.

Dear chrism01,

//192.168.44.100/share /path_to/mount cifs username=server_user,password=secret,_netdev 0 0

and it works but the problem is that the drives which i mount are read only neither i can create any document nor delete any document how can i fix this problem.

add this extra option

Dear deep27ak,

I have used your additional entry and it works but still i'm unable to create any document or copy any document in to the sharing folder, remember one thing that this only happens when i use through the mounted area but if i access the sharing through (Place --> Connect to Server) then it's working.

I was having a similar problem with server shares mounted via fstab
I fixed it by mounting the shares in my own home directory
