unable to read/write CIFS mounts in Ubuntu 11.10
- by Paul Collins
upgraded my laptop from 11.04 too 11.10 and since then the CIFS mounts are not working
before the upgrade it would allow mounts on host names, in 11.10 its only IP addresses (not much of an issue) however all the shares i mount are as Read only despite the FStab File declaring the options rw and auto, i have chowned the mount point to be nogroup.nouser and it still wont work, here is an extract from my FSTAB:
//192.168.1.1/stories /home/paul/Documents/Stories cifs rw,user,exec,auto,username=,password= 0 0
