nweiler

After some research and testing of ideas, I got my main computer to automatically mount the shares when I log in. This eliminates the need for me to remember to add the -o option to the mount command. My computer runs Ubuntu so I ended up using libpam-mount so I don't have to manually mount the shares everytime I log in.

My problem: rsync on linux fails with permissions errors unless I specify "-o username=nweiler,uid=1001,gid1001" when mounting the share. Errors: Cannot create directories Cannot delete files The command I use to mount the share: sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.17.170/miscdata /home/nathan/datafarm -o username=<username> Mounting a share on the command line and then running "ls -lh" shows that all files and directories are owned by the user named "root". If I don't specify "-o username", I get asked for the root users password. One thing I noticed while investigating the problem was that on the Unraid server, user "nweiler" has a user id of 1000 but on my main computer user "nweiler" has a user id of 1001. Is there anything I can do so I don't have to specify "-o username=nweiler,uid=1001,gid1001" when mounting the share?
