Public bug reported: I have installed ubuntu mate 17.10 Beta 2 into a brand new virtualbox machine. I've installed cifs utils and mounted a samba shared in etc/fstab via:
//192.168.2.6/myshare /media/myshare cifs iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/danbuntu/.smbcredentials,gid=1234 0 0 on a reboot the folder mounts correctly and I can view it's contents. However I can only read from it. I can't delete or write to it. I recently noticed this behaviour on my desktop which has been running artfull for a few weeks. I have also tested with vms running 16.04 and windows 10 - these work as expected and let me delete and create files so i'm pretty sure it's a bug 17.10. The 16.04 machine uses the same fstab entry The server it's self is running 16.04 and I haven't altered any thing on apart from apt upgrades periodically. ** Affects: cifs-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720534 Title: can't delete or create folders in a cifs share mounted via fstab in artfull To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1720534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
