When you use the uid/gid options, do all files in the share get owned by that uid/gid?
Can you check the output of the mount command after mounting the share, with and without uid/gid, and see which options ended up being used? That output will include defaults that you did not specify. For example, here when I mount from a ds216 synology NAS using these options in fstab "username=andreas,vers=3.0,noauto" I get this in the output of mount: rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,vers=3.0,cache=strict,username=andreas,domain=,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=1000,forcegid,addr=<ip>,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1,user=andreas uid and gid were added automatically in my case. My fstab line is: //server/downloads /ds216/downloads cifs user,username=andreas,vers=3.0,noauto This is on artful. cifs-utils 2:6.7-1 -- 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
