unRAID shares mounted in Ubuntu are always read-only?


Recommended Posts

I've been searching and trying to resolve this for a couple hours now. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but here's the problem. With unRAID simple security My unRAID shares mounted in Windows 7 work fine. I can add/delete files/folders no problem. In Ubuntu, however, those same shares are read-only no matter how I mount them and I have to su to add/change/delete files/folders. What's the proper way to mount unRaid shares in Linux? I don't want to run apps that need to write to unRAID shares as su.

 

Thanks.

sudo mount -t cifs //[unraid ip or name]/[share name] /[any mount location you choose on your linux box]

 

It just sounds like the directory you are mounting the unraid share is only writable by root. Change it's permissions to allow other users to write to it.

 

Other than that you probably want to ask in the ubuntu forums about this ubuntu issue. Every linux distro does it differently and they would know the "Ubuntu way" of doing it.
