Hi everyone,
In work there is a windows backup server, and I use a backup script
almost every day to copy some files there.
Everything was working great with the following line in the script for
months now:
sudo mount -t cifs //homer/backup /mnt/backup-o
workgroup=xxxx,credentials=xxx.txt
Now, yesterday I changed my user uid on the box, from 501 to 500
because nfs was not working for me.
After doing this, cifs mount has stopped working. I cant be sure if
the two events are related so I thought I would ask here.
I changed my uid back to 501 again, still no joy.
Heres what happens now:
[root at smpeg1 alastair]# mount.cifs -V
mount.cifs version: 1.10
[root at smpeg1 alastair]# uname -r
2.6.17-1.2142_FC4
[root at smpeg1 alastair]#
[alastair at smpeg1 ~]$ sudo mount -t cifs //homer/backup /mnt/backup
-o workgroup=xxxx,credentials=xxx_credentials.txt --verbose
parsing options: rw,workgroup=xxx,credentials=xxx_credentials.txt
mount.cifs kernel mount options
unc=//homer\backup,ip=xxx.xxx.xx.170,user=xxxx,pass=xxxx,ver=1,rw,workgroup=xxx,credentials=xxx_credentials.txt
mount error 13 = Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
So can anyone give me a hand? Is the UID thing totally bogus?
Best regards and thanks,
Alastair
