Mounting CIFS mount points wierdness
 

I have a Thecus NAS for which I have configured 3 mount points on my N800 via fstab.

After mounting I can see the mount points and can list the files.
For two of the mount points (movies and album) I can write and delete files without issue but when I try to access them like load an image in the image viewer or copy a file from the NAS to the N800 then I get permission denied. Even trying this as root gives the same issue

The other issue I have is that one of the mount points I have requires a login and password which I provide in my fstab. Again I can see all the files but I am unable to read files and write files to the mount

Can anyone help me figure out what could possibly be wrong
Lines from my /etc/fstab below:

//193.168.0.7/Music /mnt/music cifs,defaults,user=robert,password=password 0 0
//193.168.0.7/Movies /mnt/movies cifs,defaults,user=robert,password=password 0 0
//193.168.0.7/album /mnt/album cifs,defaults,user=robert,password=password 0 0

On my Mandriva box all works well but I use smbfs and not cifs could this be a contributing factor?

Cheers,
Robert

Hey Robert, I'm now having exactly the same sort of problem although I'm using a NSLU2 (not unslung) as my NAS. I can mount and see the shares but all files are gray and give the message "unable to open". I've tried both CIFS and the SMBBrowser. Did you get any clues to solving this?

Thanks

Solved it by a different approach
I installed the TwonkyMedia module on my NAS and now all my media on the NAS is available in Canola. Which is the only reason I was messing around with cifs in the first place

If I remember rightly I think I saw a module for the Linksys device you have when I was browsing its website.

I am having the same problem. My files are on a NAS. My XP thinkpad can access the files fine. My 800 can list the files, but not open or copy. I can delete. I am resorting to ftp to look at the files -- they are photos.
