Manual mounting of cifs works fine, but not in fstab
I have a mounting problem that drives me mad at the moment...
Using the manual mounting command
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/shareName /media/shareName -o uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,username='domain/name',password=pw
I am able to mount my network share without any problem. But then, when I include the line
//192.168.1.1/shareName /media/shareName cifs uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,username='domain/name',password=pw 0 0
into fstab
and execute then the command
sudo mount -a
I receive the error message
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
When I restart the computer the boot process is as it should be without any errors, but the share isn't mounted.
Does anybody know if this is a bug?! Or do I miss there something?
Thanks for reading this...
PS: I do not have any white spaces in the network share name or any 'weird' characters in the password. Also the cifs-utils
are installed. The additional option users
in the fstab
didn't helped either. Of course I'll use later the credential
file when the fstab
entry works, at the moment I use the password in fstab
just for testing purposes (and it didn't worked neither when I tried the credential file instead)...
PPS: I use Kubuntu 12.10, but I hope this doesn't matter...
Mine looks like this - with a credential file as mentioned above, but with some other explicit options.
//192.168.1.2/photos /media/photos cifs credentials=/home/[credentialfile],iocharset=utf8,sec=ntlm,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=[my userid],gid=[my groupid],nobootwait 0 0
Try specifying your username and domain separately and without the single quotes:
domain=MYDOMAIN,user=myusername
