Temporary R+W CIFS share for non-root accounts?

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I want to set up a cross platform mail client (Thunderbird), and so far I want to use NAS as a profile store. The NAS is CIFS based, and can be mounted on both Windows and Ubuntu. Also the locking works fine for mutex, and setup seems to work as a proof of concept. The problem is the Linux mount. Since I'm using a laptop, I'm not always connected to network, hence, I can't use the /etc/fstab to set up CIFS share with a modified group id. And the share has to be mounted using mount -t cifs ..., which causes it to be owned by root, and owned so badly, that it can't be chowned to the regular u (HowTos)

Stories similar to Temporary R+W CIFS share for non-root accounts?

I have the following situation: I have two servers, one sharing files over CIFS, the other shares files by FTP. The FTP-Server has the CIFS Share mounted, and FTP users can download from this mount.

The Problem: When an FTP User downloads a "big" file (about 800MB) from the CIFS mount the download never stops and continues after reaching 100%.

This is on Ubuntu 10.04.

I can write to my cifs share at 250 mbps with cp.

I can tar over my nfs network at close to gigabit speed.

But when I tar to my cifs share, I am only getting 70 mbps.

Any idea how this can happen?

Here is my mount command from /etc/fstab:

//zzz-address /zzz-mount-location cifs credentials=/root/smb/credentials.mbb,uid=0,gid=0 0 0

And here is the tar co

I have a CIFS share mounted in the FSTAB on Ubuntu server, which connects to our SAN and works without issue. Last night we had an issue with the SAN for about 12 hours. We corrected the problem and the Windows boxes restored their mappings. The Ubuntu box did not, but we were able to restore with [mount -a].

I saw options to specify retries in man for NFS but not CIFS.

I'm trying to mount a Windows 7 in 12.10, but it doesn't seem to have cifs working. I've installed smbfs, winbind, and cifs-utils. If i run: sudo mount -t cifs //servername/shareName /mnt/point I get this: mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system mount error(19): No such device Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.

OK so I've got two samba shares that I'm trying to get mounted. Both are being shared from the same Windows 7 machine. One mounts with out problems, the other one complains about permission denied.

I'm maintaining a heterogeneous network of mac and linux so I decided to create a little perl script to unify mounting strategies across machines.

The current implementation in linux is in /etc/fstab works fine:

//myserverhere.com/cifs_share /mnt/cifs_share cifs user,uid=65001,rw,workgroup=DEV,credentials=/root/.cifs 0 0

and /root/.cifs contains

username=ouruser password=ourpassword

hi,

I have the following permission problems with cifs.mount : a share on a VNXe (EMC NAS) is accessed by two RHEL 5.9 accounts (authenticated by Active Directory); One account has read+wite permission to the share , the second one has only read permission.

I have a drive that I share via SMB (CIFS) and today I noticed two large files in the root of the share, one about 2.5GB and the other about 500MB, they are labeled cifsa3f and cifs2cc9.

From Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 i've been able to mount my nas shares by first making directories in the /media folder, then sudo gedit /etc/fstab to include the following line for each share I want to auto-mount;

//servername/sharename /media/windowsshare cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0

Now, however, I upgraded to 12.10, and suddenly I'm not able to mount the sha
