Ubuntu Server Permissions

Help & Support
1

I’m looking for a little help here, Ubuntu server Newbie i’m afraid!!

So i jumped into

sudo nano /etc/fstab

and added

//192.168.1.200/public /nas/public cifs guest 0 0
//192.168.1.200/video /nas/video cifs guest 0 0
//192.168.1.200/music /nas/music cifs guest 0 0

I then followed [this guide][1]

All is up and running well except when i try and add any series i get this error

Request Failed: Root folder path '/nas/video/TV' is not writable by user 'fletch'

Can anybody shed some light for me on where i’m going wrong!?

sounds like a permissions issue, please try testing by adding the following options to your cifs mount:

dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777

an example:
//192.168.1.200/public /nas/public cifs guest,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

Can you write to it then?

Note: Opening up file permissions permanently to 777 is a bad idea, and there are better ways to solve this permanently. I just want to confirm it’s a permissions issue before we troubleshoot further.

//192.168.1.200/public /nas/public cifs guest,uid=1000  0 0
//192.168.1.200/video  /nas/video  cifs guest,uid=1000  0 0
//192.168.1.200/music  /nas/music  cifs guest,uid=1000  0 0

This sorted it … i had my syntax a little wrong earlier when i tried that!
