There are several different sets of symptoms being described here, none of which are reproducible for me. - the original bug report says that the file permissions on the local mount are correctly set, but the files are not readable or writable. This sounds like a permissions problem on the remote server, possibly because of a credentials problem? - TMwtP reports that he can create new files and delete files on a cifs mount point, but can't read existing files. This is also very strange, and possibly points to a permissions issue either on the client, or on the server (again, the server permissions problem may point to an authentication problem). - tonyw describes an application problem which may be a separate bug entirely.
For anyone seeing these problems with kernel CIFS mounts, can you please provide: - version information about the server you're connecting to (if a Windows server, the version of the OS; if a Samba server, the version of Samba) - for samba servers, the definition of the fileshare - the exact commandline or fstab entry you're using when you experience the problem - a full listing of server-side permissions on the shared directory, and the files contained within - an ls -l of the client mount point, showing how the permissions appear on the client. With this, it should be possible to track down these errors and find a solution for inclusion in Ubuntu 8.04. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
