nas folder problem

[sigurnjak]

I have a problem with mounting nas folder locally . I did google the heck out of it but no solution .
My nas folder is at

smb://192.168.1.120/public/

but to access it as local drive i mounted it like this in a fstab

//192.168.1.120/public/ /media/public smbfs uid=guest,gid=users 0 0

It mounts during boot , puts an icon on the desktop , i can see files , but as a user can not delete or put files on it . As root it is no problem . So how do i give myself read and wright privileges?
Where did i go wrong ?

You are using the guest account on the nas to mount the share. What privileges does this account have on the nas?

Guest has all read and wright privileges . It is default user for Patriot gear box NAS .
When i mount it as plain samba folder i have all rights but after i mount it locally only root can delete and put files here, also mount locally is much faster data transfer then samba .

Hi Friends.,
I am having strange problem in same kind of scenario.

I am having problem with mounting.. I bought iOmega Storage box ix200.
I shared a folder from iOmega box for 10 users.

I mounted this shared drive in all 10 Virtual machines by editing /etc/fstab file. After rebooting the drive got mounted. But when a user accessing it and tries to create a new file it shows lock symbol on it.

But if i try to access this drive from Menu - Location and, from there put File server IP and do then i am able to create a file without lock symbol. It's opening read-only for all the users.

This is happening for all the users except 1 user.
If i assign that user then its working fine. Can someone guide me what may be the issue.

Just so you know, when you use "smb://..." you are mounting it locally. You just may not like the mount point it automatically created.

You didn't specify what version of Ubuntu you are using:

If it's 12.10 the mount point is at:

/run/user/your-user-name/gvfs

Prior to that it was at:

/home/your-user-name/.gvfs

Anyway:

//192.168.1.120/public/ /media/public smbfs uid=guest,gid=users 0 0

How about:

//192.168.1.120/public/ /media/public smbfs uid=guest,gid=users,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0664 0 0

Assuming of course that you personally are a member of the "users" group.

How about:

I rebooted and my drive did not mount , I did have to install gnome-system-tools to be able to manage groups and am now in progress of changing permissions to public mount point and adding my self to users group . It may take a while since there is few hundred gigs of stuff there and i have to go , but i will update you guys as soon as i can .
Thanks for pointing me to a whole neW direction ,
If i do not make it back soon ,
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
