I have my /etc/samba/fstab set to automatically mount a windows share on system boot. The only problems is that it is mounted with root as the owner and the permissions don’t let anyone else make any changes. What do I need to do to make it mount so that I can actually have write permissions on the drive?
You have to set UID on /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs.
You can also specify uid, gid, password etc on the relevant fstab line among the mount options.
