Question about mounting on opensuse
Hey there.
I am completely new to Linux (using OpenSuse) and picking things up slowly.
I have a question about mounting my NV+.
When I mount it, i use the following commands when logged on as user "matt" :
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Matts /home/matt/GRUMPY/Matts
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Torrents /home/matt/GRUMPY/Torrents
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Media /home/matt/GRUMPY/Media
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Programs /home/matt/GRUMPY/Programs
GRUMPY is the name of my NAS :D by the way!
It mounts properly, BUT i cannot delete or rename files, so basically the user "matt" has read only privileges, and root has ownership of the mount.
How do I go about mounting these so that user "matt" has RW privileges ?
When I log on as root user and mount them, I can read and write as required, so this has led me to believe that my problem lies in my permissions for matt when mounting them...
Hope my ramble makes sense!
Cheers

- Try adding the options 'nosetuids,noperm' after the 'rw' in your mount options and see whether that already fixes the problem. Also check that 'Matt' has proper permissions to access the local mount point.
-Stefan - Adding that
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw nosetuids,noperm,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Media /home/matt/GRUMPY/Media
Just listed all the options for mount...
I must have my syntax incorrect ? - Yeah, as with all other options you should have separated them using a comma instead of a blank. So it'd be "-o rw,nosetuids,noperm,user=....."
-Stefan - Hey Stefan
Thanks for your replies, I tried that and got this message:
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
? - Would need to try that locally to check what exactly the cause is. Can you enable verbose or debug output for the mount command so it maybe tells exactly where it is failing in the process?
-Stefan - mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.2.15,unc=\\192.168.2.15\Media,nosetuids,noperm,ver=1,user=Matt,pass=********
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Not sure how to enable verbose or debug :s - Normally using the "-v" flag on the command line, like this "mount -v -t ......"
-Stefan - Hey Stefan,
Did the following, and got the following reply..
matt@linux-os2k:~> sudo mount -v -t cifs -o rw,nosetuids,noperm,username=Matt,password=matt //192.168.2.15/Media /home/matt/GRUMPY/Media
root's password:
mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.2.15,unc=\\192.168.2.15\Media,nosetuids,noperm,ver=1,user=Matt,pass=******
mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
matt@linux-os2k:~> - Anyone ?
:twisted: - Is there a reason you need to use CIFS? Your life may be much easier if you use NFS on Linux. :)
