Sure, thanks v-much:

The owner of your mounts is the problem (it's root, but should be ralf).

In your fstab, you specify uid=500,gid=100
That part should make the files owned by the user whose uid is 500, and by the group whose gid is 100.
Normally, that is the first user created, and the 'users' group.

Verify the numbers with this command:

Code: Select all

id ralf

If that gives uid=500 and gid=100, then you should be fine.
If it gives other numbers, use those in your fstab.

Try to re-mount the shares, as root:

umount /mnt/samba/*; mount -a

(Do this if you changed fstab or not.)
Then check (ls -la) whose the owner of the files in /mnt/samba/movies.
It should be ralf instead of root.

(looks ok?, so no change in fstab)

Try to re-mount the shares, as root:
Quote:
umount /mnt/samba/*; mount -a

(Do this if you changed fstab or not.)

[root@padme ralf]# umount /mnt/samba/*; mount -a
mount: mount point 0 does not exist
mount: mount point 0 does not exist

Then check (ls -la) whose the owner of the files in /mnt/samba/movies.
It should be ralf instead of root.

Ok so it looks like those shares are owned by 'root'.

How do I change them to 'ralf'

kind regards,

Ralf

[gboudreau]

You don't. Those are the mount points; there is nothing mounted there.
mount -a isn't enough to mount the local shares. You need to do this:

Code: Select all

/bin/sed -ie 's/#smb#//g' /etc/fstab /bin/mount -a /bin/sed -ie 's@//127.0.0.1@#smb#//127.0.0.1@g' /etc/fstab

You don't. Those are the mount points; there is nothing mounted there.
mount -a isn't enough to mount the local shares. You need to do this:

Code:
/bin/sed -ie 's/#smb#//g' /etc/fstab
/bin/mount -a
/bin/sed -ie 's@//127.0.0.1@#smb#//127.0.0.1@g' /etc/fstab

I put that in /etc/rc.local as per wiki : http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Mount_Shares_Locally

This is my /etc/rc.local file:

r#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

# Mount own Samba shares locally
/bin/sed -ie 's/#smb#//g' /etc/fstab
/bin/mount -a
/bin/sed -ie 's@//127.0.0.1@#smb#//127.0.0.1@g' /etc/fstab

Do I need to run manually?

I just rebooted the server, still can't copy to the shares.

Many thanks

Ralf

[gboudreau]

I suggest you take this to the live chat. This back and forth in unproductive, and could take a while to result in a solution.
http://talk.amahi.org
Just say that you mounted shares locally, and the files ownership are wrong.
Somebody with enough Linux knowledge should be able to help.
Good luck.

[ralfb]

Hi Guillaume,

Many thanks, I went to live chat support and got some suggestions but ultimately was prompted to come back to you.

I'd much appreciate your further assistance.

It looks I'm much closer now to being able to mount the shares as I now seem to be the owner:

[root@padme ralf]# ls -la /mnt/samba/movies
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 ralf users 4096 2010-12-17 09:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 ralf ralf 4096 2010-12-17 12:03 ..
[root@padme ralf]# ls -la /mnt/samba/music
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 ralf users 4096 2010-12-17 09:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 ralf ralf 4096 2010-12-17 12:03 ..

before it showed 'root', not 'ralf'

and now I when I access the shares: like /mnt/samba/movies/ there is nothing inside the folder, although I CAN copy items into it and delete.

when mounting I'm getting this:

[root@padme ralf]# /bin/sed -ie 's/#smb#//g' /etc/fstab
[root@padme ralf]# /bin/mount -a
Password:
mount: mount point 0 does not exist
Password:
mount: mount point 0 does not exist
Password:
mount: mount point 0 does not exist
[root@padme ralf]# /bin/sed -ie 's@//127.0.0.1@#smb#//127.0.0.1@g' /etc/fstab
[root@padme ralf]#

and now I when I access the shares: like /mnt/samba/movies/ I CAN see all my files and folders, but I can NOT copy items into it these. Also the folders have a little pad lock icon.

Do you know what is happening?

Many thanks

Ralf

That the owner of your unmounted shares was root before, and is now ralf, will not help you at all.
You want to copy files IN your shares, so do to that, they need to be MOUNTED, and the owner of the MOUNTED dirs/files needs to be ralf.
Copying files there when they are empty means you are just copying files into the system partition, not the shares, since the shares are NOT mounted.

The errors you get when you mount -a is the key to you problem.
All 3 lines for your shares are on two different lines, effectively making 'mount' ignore the second line, that contains the correct owner & permissions for your share.
Just put back the lines that start with credentials=... at the end of the preceding lines, and you'll be fine.
umount /mnt/samba/*
Then re-mount it by executing the 3 commands found in your rc.local (or rebooting).
