Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
since i've upgraded to hardy i'm not able to use my samba shares anymore when
mounted.
i used to mount a samba share from file server at boot through fstab, here is
the fstab line:
//server/share /media/server_dati smbfs
auto,iocharset=utf8,uid=user,gid=user,credentials=/root/.cifscredentials,noperm
0 0
share is correctly mounted, no error messages, and permissions on files and
directory are correctly set, but despite this, i can't even read files on the
mounted share, always given a "no permission" error. i cant process files
through less or cat, can't move or delete them, can't copy them... no access at
all, though ls reports good permissions and therefore i suppose i should be
allowed to use them.
If i mount the same share through nautilus net resources i can access files
perfectly, and fstab mounting under gutsy used to work as expected.
i tried changing fstab line with file_mode and dir_mode set to 0777 or
0770, but no luck: files seem to have right permissions but can't be
read or written.
tried to use cifs instead of smbfs, but same results (i suspect in hardy they
are now the same, isn't it?).
i think this is quite a serious step back.
will switch to nfs: since it's a client problem windows workstations should be
able to access old samba shares as usual (the server is an old machine with a
very old mandrake linux), but it would be nice to have it working again.
