[Bug 485361] [NEW] CIFS mounted drives do not allow write access to program other than nautilus, gedit or the command line

[Duarte Molha]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Release:        9.10

This problem has started after I upgraded my system from 9.04...

I can mount remote drives using CIFS/SMBFS and I can create/edit files
on these mounted drives using gedit and Open office... nevertheless any
other program cannot edit any files on these mounted drives. They can be
opened but when you try to save you always get an error saying tha the
files cannot be saved.

here is an example of one of the mounted drives on my fstab:

//192.168.0.223/duartem         /media/dell_home        cifs
credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,nounix,noserverino,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
0 0

I have tried changing some of the options, changed the file_mode and
dir_mode to 0770 and 0775.

Nothing seems to make it work...
I am pretty sure this config used to work fine in 9.04 so this is something related to the new version 9.10
