CIFS shares (from Linux) no permissions for user

[andyhorton]

Hello,

Alfresco is up and running. Lovely. The CIFS server seems to be up and running also. I can mount the shares from my Linux (Fedora) machine and browse the "filesystem". Unfortunately, although I am logged in as the owner of the site, I am not able to create folders or files (or delete or edit). No write access basically. When I look at the perms on the mounted folders, I can see that the folders and files are all owned by roor/root with 755 or 44 respectively. They are owned by root, and everyone else is read only.

I used the -o user=andrew,rw option on mount. I have told them I am the Site owner (and submitted the password) and have specified read and write access.

So, how should one mount an Alfresco CIFS share to be able to read and write?

I think the problem may be on the unix side.

Not sure that this is the best way to do it  :mrgreen:  but I've got it working by specifing uid in the o options so -o user=blah,password=blah,uid=500.    Then the mount is read/write for me (user 500).

Indeed, it appears you are right. Actually, I used the file_mode and dir_mode options (both at 0777 to prove the concept) and they do work - I will specify something a little less permissive later on. Thanks for your prompt response.
