Samba share from Proxmox host mounted on Ubuntu guest write Permission Denied

[pradeepslc]

Hello, I am trying to get started on using proxmox for my home server. I have mounted my data disk in proxmox and shared it using samba share with read and write permission. In my Ubuntu guest VM I mounted this cifs disk and am able to read the contents. But I get permission denied upon write . Does anybody have an idea what I might be doing wrong

You probably need to set the correct UID/GID Mapping.
Maybe 10 other things too.
We need more information to help.
My first guess is here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/68079/mount-cifs-network-drive-write-permissions-and-chown

Hi AKA,

Thanks for the reply. I will add a little detail into how my setup looks like.

I added the drive share to samba configuration file as below

[3TBHDD]
   path = /mnt/3TBHDD
   read only = no
   guest ok = yes
   available = yes
   hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168. 10.
   hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
   browseable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   create mask = 777

And for mounting the drive as cifs I added the below to my /etc/fstab

//192.168.1.153/3TBHDD /mnt/3TBHDD cifs rw,username=root,password=***,uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,noperm 0 0

I searched a lot on the internet but didn't find a solution for the write Permission Denied problem.

I'm really confused.

Kann you give me an ls -l in /mnt/3TBHDD?
And also when it's mounted in your VM directory?

Hi AKA,

Thanks for looking. here is the ls command output on the proxmox host on the lefet and guest VM on the right

Thanks, i'll take a look (and give it a thought later). Sorry for the late answers, but i've been a bit busy.

So it seems like you're mapping it correctly.
(Just a side note, if you don't need guest access, disable it.

But i can't seem to figure out the other thing. I'm quiet sure it's something simple though.
Maybe that's helping you debug the issue?
