I'm experiencing similar problems and I definitely don't think it is only a nautilus problem.
I'm sharing a folder from a windows98 vmware guest and am automounting the folder, using cifs, via fstab on the host. mounting is fine, without any error messages, but I can only acces directories. trying to manipulate the files on the commanline gives a permission error. the permissions look as below. (I have no idea what the capital S means) drwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 2008-02-07 14:04 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-22 06:24 .. drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2008-05-22 07:41 old -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 31624 2008-05-23 00:00 q_108143.dat -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 48039 2008-05-24 00:00 q_108144.dat ...... after a "sudo chmod 777 *" permissions are set as below. drwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 2008-02-07 14:04 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-05-22 06:24 .. drwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 2008-05-22 07:41 old -rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 31624 2008-05-23 00:00 q_108143.dat -rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 48039 2008-05-24 00:00 q_108144.dat ........ I can access the files files for a certain period, but at some point the permissions revert back to the first situation. I think it is actually on the point of the next file being written in the folder on the guest when the permissions change, but I haven't had the time to verify it yet. -- no way to read and write files on mounted samba share on hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210741 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
