I was mistaken about the cause of this bug. It appears that some default setting has changed, and cifs mounts need uid and gid options passed explicitly. In previous Ubuntu versions, I could mount cifs with just credentials provided I set the owners of the mount point and remote files correctly, a one-time detail. In Ubuntu 17.10, if I fail to pass uid,gid to cifs mount options, it's mounted as root:root and the only access is by everyone permissions or if I'm root.
Workaround: when mounting cifs, use options as such: defaults,uid=1001,gid=1001,credentials=[path] Where the ids can be retrieved using 'id [name]' from the shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1735953 Title: samba mount fails to write To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/1735953/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
