[Solved] systemd-automount of cifs in fstab - wrong permissions

Hi there,

I want to automatically mount a smb-folder upon boot using systemd-automount in my fstab but I can't get it to have the proper permissions - it's always owned by root, and I can't change that. I want it to be owned by my user (uid=1000,gid=1000). When the mount is not active, the target folder is owned by my user. When manually mounting the folder using "sudo mount folder", the mounted folder is owned by my user.

This is my first time using systemd for mounting.

this is my fstab entry:

//server/folder   /home/user/folder   cifs   auto,nofail,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.requires=network-online.target,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,uid=1000,gid=1000,credentials=/home/user/.config/sambacreds   0   0

Are you married to that solution? Creating a unit file is a better solution in my experience.

auto,…,x-systemd.automount

Not sure what's the idea behind that but try
=>

noauto,…,x-systemd.automount

to have systemd mount the share on access.

Not sure why, but using a unit file gives the correct permissions. Thanks!
