Hi,I've successfully setup the SMB/CIFS file share on a Linux server. However, when mounting the file share using fstab, all files only allow groups r-x access (no write access). Here's the listing in my /etc/fstab://192.168.1.1/alfresco /media/alfresco cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,po

I found the solution to this. I added 'file_mode=0775' to the listing in fstab. Also, as a second issue, the file mount was locking up, and adding a 'netbiosname' parameters seems to have fixed that issue. My final CIFS line in /etc/fstabs is:

<blockcode>
//192.168.11.1/alfresco /media/alfresco cifs netbiosname=alfrescocifs,credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials,port=1445,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,uid=1002,gid=1003 0 0
</blockcode>
