Networking :: Unable To Mount Cifs Shares As User?
Oct 4, 2010
this subject seems to have been touched a hundred times, but after following all the advice google could provide, i'm still unable to mount cifs shares as user, here's the fstab line
<server> <mountpoint> cifs rw,noauto,credentials=/etc/gattonauth,uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0770 0 0
i've chowned the mountpoint to the user,
ive tried
chmod +s /sbin/mount.cifs /sbin/mount.cifs

This is the first time I have run into issues mounting windows shares but I really can't figure this out. Can someone put me out of my windows misery please.
First off, last week I rebuilt my work PC fromWIN7 32bit to WIN7 64bit since then I can no longer mount the window share on my ubuntu server:
I recreated my windows share called "Linux" and used the properties, advanced sharing and added everyone, full access and my domain account full access.
If I browse to \ipaddress I can see my share and access it. From a XP machine I can see the share and access it.
From linux I use the same mount point as before, /linux I use the same fstab and it fails
Code:
I try this manually now:
Code:
Next I try to mount it:
Code:
I looked at my firewall rules and they seem ok.
Next test was connecting to my 2nd pc on windows XP no probs mounted first time.
What is wrong with my new Win 7 setup?

I am getting an error when I try to mount a CIFS file-system via terminal:
cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
If I Places > Connect to server, it will open just fine. The share is also accessible from all the other computers on the network.
Google search brought me here to an archived thread which gave a different error number (!)
Desktop is Ubuntu 10,4LTS/Gnome; fresh install with no additional packages installed (so it's possible I am missing something but not sure what!)

I have a bootable utility toolset that I put together with Fedora 14, one of its primary functions is to map a user designated share via script and access information from it. The command that I used, that functioned perfectly, in Fedora 14 was:
Code:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=provided.account.name //file-server.mydomain.com/share/images /mnt/source

I am unable to mount Windows shares on Fedora 12. From Nautilus, I can navigate to the shares, but when I attempt to open one I get a dialog "Password required for share ... on ..." asking for username (prepopulated with my username), domain (prepopulated with MYGROUP) and password. I have the same username on the Windows box, but when I enter the password and click Connect, the dialog just pops up again. I'm not sure what "domain" is, tried with my Windows workgroup name, no good. If I blank out either username or domain, the Connect button is disabled.
I tried using the mount command:mount -t cifs //192.168.0.2/... /tmp/mnt -o username=adrian,password=...,iocharset=utf8,file_m ode=0777,dir_mode=0777
That did work once, but now gives the useful error message:mount error(5): Input/output error
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I can run Windows instead on the client machine, and that gives me access to the shares, no problem.
I have libsmbclient-3.4.5-55.fc12.i686, but that was installed a month ago. I don't see any more recent changes to anything relating to the samba client. I've never had to enter a password to access Windows shares. Actually, it looks like the problem may be on the Windows side, although as far as I know, nothing has changed there. Using smbclient with debuglevel set high, I see failures with this error:SPNEGO login failed: NT_STATUS_REQUEST_NOT_ACCEPTED
Every now and again, I can connect to one or more shares, but after a few attempts, I can't connect to any more. Tried rebooting the Windows box, but that's had no effect. Oh, and "smbclient -L" shows domain as the host name of the windows box, but anonymous login (smbclient -L -N) shows domain as the workgroup name.

on 10.04 I clicked to share my music folder with the network (other computer also having 10.04) and it installed samba for me. I restarted expecting to find sharing working as it had on the other computer by doing the exact same thing. But for some strange reason I can't access the shares on either computer through the network workgroup. It just says "Unable to Mount Location".

i have a ubuntu 10.10 desktop and laptop. i installed samba, and smbfs. i shared a folder on each computer. when i browse the network i can see the laptop from the laptop, and can see the desktop from the laptop, but i cant see the laptop from the desktop. when i try to mount the share it says unable to mount, but mounts it anyway...but, i need to be able to mount it so that rsync will see the shares as a dir on the desktop. i tried manually mounting via smbmount following several threads that i found, and i keep getting error sudo smbmount //192.168.1.78/share /media/laptop Password: Unable to find suitable address
that is as far as i've been able to get. i've looked and have only been able to find threads about windows shares, not between 2 ubuntu machines. and i dont know why laptop can see the desktop but not the other way around. they have identical smb.conf files

We are using spare parts (Socket 775 Biostar motherboard, OCZ 500wat PSU) to build a computer that will just be another system in the house. I want this system to be running Folding@Home, and the F@H SMP client for Linux is much less of a headache than its Windows couterpart, so I would like this computer to run Fedora. My dad loves networking, and knows how to do it in XP / Vista, so he has always opposed my frequent use of Linux. There are ways of accessing Windows shared folders from Linux, but that I haven't figured it out yet. I want to access Windows shared folders from my Fedora 10. I don't know how to go about doing this, can anyone point me in the right direction? Do I have to install anything special? I can go to Places, and then Network (in Gnome) and I see "Windows Network", but when I click it, I get "Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server"

After booting, the sda5 and sda8 mounts work fine, but the Windows shares haven't been mounted. If I enter the command: mount -a everything works fine. I don't know if this a timing issue, or something to do with the new systemd stuff, but it has happened in previous Fedora releases from time to time.

Q: How do I mount a CIFS share so that my user stevej has all rights to it?
Summary: I can mount the share as root.
mount.cifs //10.x.x.x/Data /home/stevej/Synology/Data/ --verbose -o user=stevej
Using Dolphin in Super-User mode, I can copy files and directories from the share to itself with no errors. Using Dolphin in Normal-user mode. I get the failure "Could not change permissions for...". The file is copied, but its owner,timestamp and permissions are wrong. If a subdirectory is involved, the copy aborts.
Using Windows XP I can copy files and directories from the share to itself with no errors.
Testing: If I mount with uid and gid, then my normal user can not access the share.
mount.cifs //10.x.x.x/Data /home/stevej/Synology/Data/ --verbose -o user=stevej uid=stevej gid=users
[code]...
Synology DS211 - There are 2 users on it. One of which is stevej and the other is julie. Rights RWX are applied to the users and the group called users. All files have stevej as the owner and users as the group with RWX Opensuse 11.4 - There are 2 pc's. One is run as stevej. The other pc runs as julie Windows 2000 - Runs as stevej and maps to the share as stevej.
Works as expected Windows XP - Runs as julie and maps the the share as julie. Works as expected Ultimately, I want the shares to automount at boot, or login and give the user full access. I have been to Swerdna's page and done as much as I can, but still no luck.

I have a Thecus NAS with nfs support running. Now I switched from OpenSUSE 10 to 11.2 on the client side and aren't able to mount my nfs shares. With SuSe 10.0 I didn't have any problems.
The /etc/exports:
/raid/home_nas1 192.168.0.24/31(rw,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=99,anongid=99,no_subtree_check)
/raid/soundandmore 192.168.0.24/31(rw,no_root_squash,sync,anonuid=99,anongid=99,no_subtree_check)
On the client side I'm able to see the shares:
showmount -e nas1
Export list for nas1:
/raid/home_nas1 192.168.0.24/31
/raid/soundandmore 192.168.0.24/31
The client address:
inet addr:192.168.0.27
I'm using nfs-3:
mount -t nfs nas1:/raid/soundandmore/mnt
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting nas1:/raid/soundandmore

I'm trying to talk the studio I work at into switching one of the departments to linux. (likely kubuntu). So I'm trialling it, but having issues mounting windows shares.It's working great; all except that only Root can write to the mount. I've tried a few different things with fstab, no go.Below is my fstab so far, and you can see the mountpoints.
Code:

I've been mounting our windows network by opening nautilus and typing in the address bar:
smb://<servername>/share
and I am prompted to log in, all is fine.
however, I need to use some apps where I need to pick the folder from a file list, which I can't get to work with the above connection.
I then created the following line in my fstab file:
Code:
//<servername>/<share> /mnt/fileserver cifs credentials=/home/<username>/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
This appears to mount correctly, however there are some filenames on the server with the bullet character() in their name, and by mounting via fstab, the bullet shows as a question mark, but mounting from nautilus shows the bullet.
Anyway I can mount with fstab, and have all characters show properly in the filename?

I am attempting to set up autofs on Ubuntu 10.04 so that it can automatically mount cifs shares when wifi is connected. For some reason, it isn't working. First of all, I know the share is accessible because doing this works fine:
Code:
sudo mount.cifs //192.168.0.12/share /cifs -o credentials=/etc/samba/credentials
This is in my /etc/auto.master
Code:
/cifs /etc/auto.home --timeout=60 --ghost
And this is /etc/auto.home

I have looked at a LOT of forum posts and other sites trying to solve this problem but I have had no luck. I've seen the following:[URL].. I have an entry in my fstab that lets root mount a samba share on a Windows Server 2003 machine and gives users full read/write access to the share. The fstab entry looks like:
Code:
//servername.net/share /mnt/share cifs rw,user,umask=000,username=someuser,noauto,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
However, when a normal user tries to mount the share they get one of two errors:
1. If I have /sbin/mount.cifs set to 777
Code:
mount error(1): Operation not permitted
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
2. If I have /sbin/mount.cifs set to +s
Code: mount error: permission denied or not superuser and mount.cifs not installed SUID Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I would go about getting a user able to mount this samba share?

I have mounted a windows network share using the gnome desktop environment, using Places -> Connect To server.The network share is OK, and I have the icon on my desktop and can see all the files.I want to be able to use this network as well in the console, so I need the mount point.What is the location on the filesystem were this networkdrive gets mounted? I find nothing in /mnt and nothing in /media also using mount to look at the registered mounts, there is no entry for the networkdrive.Nevertheless, I have this networkdrive now open in my desktop, and have an option to unmount it.I know that using the mount.cifs command you can specify the mounting point.

When I use Nautilus to copy files to my NAS-disk they end up with owner "root" and I cannot edit them. If I copy them back to my PC they have owner <username> and are editable.
My fstab is: //10.0.0.20/Qmultimedia /media/Mmedia cifs credentials=/root/.smbcreds,directio,iocharset=utf8,noacl,noperm,rw, nobootwait 0 0
Of course I want my Mmedia mount on the NAS to behave like another disk on my PC; i.e. owner should be <username> and the files should be editable.

The shares get mounted correctly and you can navigate through the directories and open files.The only problem is that it randomly starts going really slow taking 30 seconds or longer to open a directory that has 2 or 3 files in it.I have tried quite a few things to try and fix this without any luck. Its getting to the point where I am having to consider recommending that we use windows instead, which I would rather not do as I think its good for students to experience different operating systems during school.

I am working as a Linux administrator in a very small data centre with 5 servers with following routine tasks.
1. Managing SAMBA shares and giving user specific access for the shares.
2. Scheduling backup of some mount points with rsycn to store data in remote hard disk
3. User and group administration, with sudo access.
4. Creating and Managing Xen Virtual machines and giving access to other project teams.
5. Automating some tasks with Shell Scripting.
6. Managing FTP server for user uploads.
I have practiced a lot in my home laptop without RHEL training, Cleared RHCE and LPIC1. I want to do some advanced system admin tasks, but do not have option in my current data centre. With Above skills is it possible to get a job ?

Since upgrading to 10.04 I have had constant CIFS errors in /var/log/syslog
Eg -
May 1 10:33:46 eclair kernel: [ 933.789217] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 32895
May 1 10:33:46 eclair kernel: [ 933.794567] CIFS VFS: No response for cmd 50 mid 32900
May 1 10:33:48 eclair kernel: [ 935.721371] CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid 37294
[code]....
All shares mount and I can open them etc, but always those errors appear whenever I try and browse to it, read them etc. These shares are mount from a Windows 2003 Server and no other machine has a problem reading or writing to this machine. I have changed the network cable and network cards in both machines, with no success. If I copy a file from a local drive to a CIFS drive, the file on the CIFS drive becomes corrupted.

Where are the mount points for smb shares connected via "Places -> Connect to Server"? I assumed them in one of the usual places like
/mnt
or
/media
but these folders are both empty. There are a couple of applications which are not capable of accessing my shares because i can't navigate to the right location...

I'm having trouble setting up samba to work with my vista machine. Whenever I try to mount certain shares I'm getting error 13- permission denied. Specifically, I'm trying to mount my entire C: with this command at the console:
mount.cifs //windows_box/C$ /mnt/windows -o username=tyler,password=****
I've also tried:
mount -t smbfs
mount -t cifs
The funny thing is that I CAN mount some other shares, but not all. My distro is slack-current. I've been following as many relevant threads on this issue for a while now and have tried as many of the suggestions as I could understand, but it's getting to the point that I've lost track of what I've tried and what I haven't. Things I have tried:
Checking permissions on the shares: seem to be ok
enabling encrypted passwords: not sure if I did it right.
editing the registry for LmCompatablity

Setup clients on a LAN to automatically mount NFS shares whenever the fileserver is up, without using autofs. Instead a simple bash script which checks if the server is up, and if the shares need to be mounted or unmounted is called by a custom upstart job. For a small office or home network populated with Unix-like computers (e.g., a few Ubuntu desktops or laptops and a fileserver), NFS (Network File System) is a good way to share storage space and centralise the backup of important documents. However, having a fileserver running 24/7 is often overkill for such a setup.
One way to have clients mount NFS shares automatically when the fileserver is turned on, is to use a package called autofs. Unfortunately, there are a few unresolved issues with using autofs in combination with NFS. In my case, when autofs tries to mount NFS shares when the fileserver is turned off, the Gnome desktop, and Nautilus in particular, becomes extremely unresponsive, regardless of the options used. Attempting to mount the share manually from the command line when the server is down however, does return a message of failure quite promptly, without hanging the desktop.
To solve this issue, I wrote a simple bash script that is run through the upstart system. The script simply checks if the fileserver is up, if the shares need mounting or unmounting, and then sleeps for a while before checking again. This works out quite well, so I decided to share this information in case someone else runs into these issues. PrerequisitesThis howto assumes that you have an NFS server set up with shares exported, and one or more clients capable of mounting those shares. For more information on setting up NFS shares and mounting them on a client from the command line, see: SettingUpNFSHowTo.
Clients should be able to ping the server to determine if it is running. Naturally, you need administrator access on the clients to install the script and upstart job outlined below. This script assumes that the directory paths of the shares match the location where they are mounted. In my case, the fileserver has two shares: /media/Storage and /media/Backup. On the clients these shares are mounted on the same paths. If your setup deviates from this, the script needs some modification. The script From the desktop of one the clients, paste the following bash script as a new file in your favourite text editor:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# The hostname or IP-address of the fileserver:
FILESERVER="myfileserver.local"
# Check every X seconds (60 is a good default):
[code]...
Now adjust the FILESERVER variable. In this example, my fileserver is called myfileserver. By default, Ubuntu sets up your networking environment in such a way, that computername.local can be used to reach that computer over the local network, so the network name for myfileserver is myfileserver.local. Of course, you can also use the IP-address of the server. Next, change the MOUNTS variable to match the NFS shares exported by your NFS server. MOUNTS is an array; multiple entries are separated by spaces. So if you have one share exported as /media/MyShare, that line would look like this:
Code:
MOUNTS=( "/media/MyShare" )
An advantage of mounting shares in /media, is that they automatically show up as mounted drives on the user's desktop. Note that this howto assumes that you use the same paths for the share on the server and client side! Save the script to your desktop with an obvious name. In this example we call it mount_my_nfs_shares. Open a terminal and cd to the desktop. Make the script executable by calling:
Code:
chmod +x mount_my_nfs_shares
Next, move it to a place where it can be called by our upstart job, but also from the console to test. A good place to put such custom executables is /usr/local/bin.
Code:
sudo mv mount_my_nfs_shares /usr/local/bin
This script uses the logger command to tell the system's log what it is doing. To test this script, open up two terminals; in one, execute the following so we can monitor the log messages:
Code:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
In the other, simply execute mount_my_nfs_shares. If the script works, your shares should show up on the desktop and the computer:// location in Nautilus. If the fileserver goes down or becomes unreachable, the shares should disappear, and reappear when the fileserver comes back on-line. If this works, move on to the next step. Installing a custom upstart job The next step is to have the clients automatically run the above script when they are booted. We can use upstart for this. Create a new text file, and enter the following:
Code:
# mount_my_nfs_shares - mount NFS shares on fileserver, if present
description"Mount NFS-shares"
start on (filesystem)
respawn
[code]....
How the script works The script enters an eternal loop and keeps checking if it can reach the fileserver once every minute (unless you adjust the INTERVAL variable). If it can reach (ping) the fileserver, it checks if the mounts are already mounted by searching for them (grepping) in the output of mount. If they are not mounted, it tries to mount them. Else, if the server is down, it looks in the output of mount to see if these mounts exist. If they do, it tries to unmount them with the -f flag (useful for unmounting unreachable NFS shares).
