mout external NAS with ciffs under linux > permission issue
 
1 Attachment(s)
hello guys, I am having problem to sucessfuly mount and use my synology NAS. I have mounted it to the /home/majo/Documents but I am having permissions issues.

vi/etc/fstab/
Code:
//192.168.88.245/Documents /home/majo/Documents cifs username=majo,password=mypassword1,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8  0  0
I cannot create a text document with rightclick when browsing caja/nautilus.
when I create a text document via editor (gedit,pluma) I am able to save it only once with ctr+S. The more changes cannot be written, I got permission issue.

I am attaching ls -la to see the permissions (ll)

I don't understand your question. Open a shell, change to the target directory (can you?)
Code:
cd /home/majo/Documents
then
Code:
touch TestFile
- does that create an empty file named TestFile? If so, open TestFile with your favorite editor: can you enter some text, then save the file? If not, what error do you get, exactly, and when, exactly.

floorripper 03-10-2017 12:53 AM
I have created the file with touch

The error tells you you don't have permissions to write in /home/majo/NAS_DOCUMENTS a different directory.

floorripper 03-20-2017 02:12 AM
yes thanks, but how can I fix it please? Where can I fix it? My fstab entry should be correct right?
Might the permissions issue be directly on the synology NAS?

thank you

Mr/Ms floorripper: The error in the image attached to your original post tells us that you lack permissions in
Quote:
/home/majo/NAS_DOCUMENTS
but the rest of your message refers to
Quote:
/home/majo/Documents
Is one a link to the other? Or NAS_DOCUMENTS an alias of some kind for Documents?

If they are different names for the same thing, the difference must be the user caja/nautilus is using, that it must lack permissions.

... agreed. I am wondering if there are somehow more than one mount point for your NAS (//192.168.88.245/Documents) ..

It would perhaps be useful seeing the output of :

$ ls -la /home/majo

floorripper 03-21-2017 01:59 AM
yes I am mounting from NAS, VIDEOS, MUSIC and PICTURES to the default ubuntu locations.

No I was experimenting with the location. At first it was separate NAS_DOCUMENTS, later I have edited my fstab do /home/majo/Documents

Code:
majo@notebook:~$ mount
/dev/sda7 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,size=10%,mode=0755)
none on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=5242880)
none on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
none on /run/user type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=104857600,mode=0755)
//192.168.88.245/pictures on /home/majo/Pictures type cifs (rw,username=majo,password=passwor,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8)

Hi guys it is still not working. I have checked the NAS settings for the user majo. He has all privileges granted as read/write.
I have just copied picture from desktop to the mounted folder and lost permissions. It's pretty annoying. I cannot access the file anymore. Do you have any suggestions please?

see the attached screen-shot.

Hi floorripper, thks - permissions on /home/majo/Documents look appropriate. Could you now please:

- confirm to which subfolder you are attempting your test copy

- confirm if you have tried the same test both with your distro's GUI-based file manager (Nautilus) and using the command line - same results ?

- confirm that all of your tests are being done using the same user id (majo, I assume)

- from the command line, are you able to create and then delete a new directory in /home/majo/Documents, using the majo user id ?

Sorry for all the questions ... :-) For one thing, I am trying to figure out why the permissions on the Documents subfolder are 777 but only 700 (which is somewhat unusual in and of itself...) on the files it contains. Those permissions are restrictive, and any user other than the owner will be unable to even see the files, much less do anything with them ...
