Hi, has anyone else had a problem where they cannot access their locally mounted shares??

for example:

marno11@AlphaCentauri:/$ cd /mnt/samba/Books
-bash: cd: /mnt/samba/Books: Permission denied

and when I check permissions:

Code: Select all

marno11@AlphaCentauri:~$ sudo ls -la /mnt/samba/
total 8
drwxrwxrw- 12 root   root  4096 Feb 24 14:45 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   root  4096 Jan  6 13:46 ..
drwxrwx---  1 marno11 users    0 Jan  6 12:42 Books
drwxrwx---  1 marno11 users    0 Feb 24 11:34 Docs
drwxrwx---  1 marno11 users    0 Jan 30 21:20 Pictures
drwxrwx---  1 marno11 users    0 Feb  3 21:46 UniAndLearning

checking permissions after remounting local shares [service mount_shares_locally restart]

Code: Select all

marno11@AlphaCentauri:/$ ls -la /mnt/samba/
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/Pictures: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/Docs: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/Books: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/..: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/.: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /mnt/samba/UniAndLearning: Permission denied
total 0
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? .
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? ..
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? Books
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? Docs
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? Pictures
d????????? ? ? ? ?            ? UniAndLearning

but after rebooting eveything looks normal, but I still cannot "cd" into the locally mounted shares:

Code: Select all

marno11@AlphaCentauri:/$ cd /mnt/samba/Books
-bash: cd: /mnt/samba/Books: Permission denied

Everything is fine accessing the shares over the network, there are no problems there. Only problems when trying to manipulate files locally. Which casues issues with things like the deluge deamon, not having permissions to write in those locations.

I'm not too sure where to go from here, so if anyone has some advice, or experienced this problem before, any help would be appriecated

Recommend you check the wiki for guidance.

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Mount_Shares_Locally

There is also some troubleshooting info here.

http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Greyhol ... leshooting

Also might want to post in the Greyhole topic area as the author monitors that area.

Thanks, I have checked out the wiki and I havn't found anything to help with this problem. I have re-done all the steps to set this up, just to be sure, but no luck. There is nothing in the greyhole wiki which I think will help me. But of-course if you think I have missed something let me know!

I haven't had this problem in the past (i.e. last year using fedora) and I havn't noticed this problem up until recently (I did a freash reinstall, this time with ubuntu server at the beginning of the year). When I say I haven't noticed, i mean this problem may have been present the whole time, I just didn't notice until now. I hope that makes sense

If you think it will help to post in the Greyhole topic area, I will do that soon.
