Can't Write to cifs or nfs mount from ubuntu vm

Featured Replies

I am new to unRAID but I have been using Linux for around 15 years.  I have been working to get my Mythtv Back-end off the slow HP microserver it is running on and onto the AMD 8350, 8 core, 32 GB Ram, 15~ish TB unRAID box I built.  Before you say, "Why don't you use the Docker Myth Back-end?" I use two Hauppauge HD PVR's for recording and it has been a chore to set those up in Ubuntu.  Also, I could find no documentation on how I could possibly set them up in the docker system.  All that said, here is my issue. 

 

I have finally gotten everything working the way I think it should with the HD PVR's and I am ready to have them write to this HUGE space.... But it won't work.  I have tried to mount them several different ways and each way a normal user can't write (make files or folders) on the shares without invoking sudo.  I can write to those shares from a windows box as a normal user just fine but I can't do it from my ubuntu 14.04 LTS server (cli only) to save my life.

 

This share security is set to public for both SMB and NFS.  I tried;

//192.168.0.151/mythstorage /storage cifs credentials=/home/myusername/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm 0 0

 

I also tried;

//192.168.0.151/mythstorage /storage cifs username=myusername,password=mypassword,iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm  0  0

 

I finally tried;

sudo mount 192.168.0.151:/mythstorage /storage

 

With the first two, the share mounted but I can't write to it without using sudo and that just isn't going to work with mythtv.  The "sudo mount" command just times out.  Thanks in advance for your help.  I have worked on this for about 10 - 12 hours today so I apologize if this sounds a bit annoyed.  :-)
