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
 
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
Code:
[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

Code:
//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.
