options in /etc/fstab not working correctly

Hello,

*EDIT* I forgot to mention I am using Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon.

This is the entry I am trying to add to my fstab however it only mounts as read only.... I tried putting "defaults" in different places but it is not working.

The mount /media/shares/music was has all permissions "777".

Not sure why this wont work its driving me crazy!!!!

//192.168.1.80/music /media/shares/music cifs defaults,credentials=/home/mike/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

Thank you in advance,

You could specify uid= and gid= explicitly like this

Code:

//192.168.1.80/music /media/shares/music cifs defaults,credentials=/home/mike/.smbcredentials,uid=1001,gid=1001,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

Use the 'id' command to get the applicable values for your user

If you need r/w access for all users, you could use file_mode=0770 and dir_mode=0770 instead. (This is required because the share is mounted as root.)

Code:

//192.168.1.80/music /media/shares/music cifs defaults,credentials=/home/mike/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0
