fclones - operation denied when accessing cifs mount (stat issue?)

scottmusician · 12-22-2021, 11:42 PM

Hi all,

I'm trying to use fclones to review duplicate files on a cifs-mounted network drive.

Code:

~> sudo fclones group /mnt/network-drive/ > .fclones-network-drive.txt

fclones: error: can't access /mnt/network-drive: Permission denied (os error 13)
fclones: error: Some input paths could not be accessed.

I CAN run fclones over local directories without an issue.
I have write access to the mount point. It has the following permissions:

Code:

~> ls -al /mnt

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 Dec 23 16:19 network-drive

I am mounting it with this:

Code:

sudo mount -t cifs -ouser=myUserName,domain=MyDomain,rw,exec,vers=2.0 //mypath.mydomain.com/network-drive /mnt/network-drive

---

I've read that it's something related to stat, but I can't quite figure out how to give stat the right permissions?

Thanks yet again!

Scott

and can you read those directories/files at all (without flcones)?
