Obviously your user and group should exist and be read/write accessible on the Windows share machine. Command line solution:
mkdir <DestinationDir> sudo mount -t cifs SERVER:/PathToShare <DestinationDir> -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=<USERNAME>,gid=<GROUPNAME>,user=<USERNAME>,domain=<WorkgroupOrDomain> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561485 Title: Mounting CIFS folder i can only have READ ONLY access Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Binary package hint: likewise-open Situation is the following: - Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 beta 2 full updated - Likewise Open 5.4.0.42111-2 - Domain with Windows 2003 Server Active directory - I join perfectly with DomainUser and Password - Mkdir "mountpoint" in the Home folder - I want to mount a samba share in a win2003 server File Server: mount -t cifs -o rw,username=DomainUser,password=Password,iocharset=utf8 //Fileserver/mountpoint /home/likewise-open/MYDOMAIN/MYUSER/Mountpoint And it works. But then if i try to change/modify/delete something , i notice all the file inside "Mount Point" are READ ONLY. ls -l return this: drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2010-03-31 12:24 Mountpoint Of course //Fileserver/mountpoint is completely writable by the domain user i am using. In Intrepid Installation (likewise version 4) it works perfectly but ls -l gives little difference: drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2010-03-31 12:24 Mountpoint So with Likewise Open 5.4.0.42111-2 i can mount just in Read Only. I suppose it is a bug.
