The reason I'm running backup script as user as I mount windows-7 partition to backup some file and I use "--options" with mount command.
So when directory is mounted the owner is root. When I try to run this command as user: mount -t cifs gid=1001,uid=1001 -o username=xxxx,password=xxxx //10.10.0.9/Images /home/thelma/mnt/Images mount: only root can use "--options" option Is there a way to mount windows-7 partition as user? Windows-7 runs in VirtualBox This way the owner of the mounted directory/files would be thelma:thelma (not root:root) >> Destination dir: >> ll Monday/Images/O/OSMANFathia2946/ >> total 252 >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44943 Jul 22 2013 OSMANFathia1567.pdf >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42493 Jul 30 2013 OSMANFathia1601.pdf >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49640 Nov 7 2014 OSMANFathia2822.pdf >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56028 Mar 11 2015 OSMANFathia3268.pdf >> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 54155 Oct 19 2015 OSMANFathia3862.pdf > > This shows the permissions of files within the directory but not the > directory itself, use ls -ld ls -al -id /home/thelma/Monday/Images/O/OSMANFathia2946/ 34210401 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 21 11:22 /home/thelma/Monday/Images/O/OSMANFathia2946/ When I change recursively: chown thelma:thelma -r directory; I was able to copy all the file correctly. -- Thelma
