[SOLVED] Samba/CIFS Permissions; I've tried everything.

I have a Synology NAS I'm trying to mount in /home/jetta/JettaNAS. It's mounted correctly, I've added it to the FSTAB file and it mounts on boot, I can view and download anything on the drive, but I have no write or execute permissions, so I can't save anything to the drive, or open anything from the drive without downloading it first. I've watched every chown and chmod and Samba and/or CIFS permissions video I can find, tried everything, and it never works. What am I missing? How do I do this? I did it once before with a tutorial I found somewhere, but I don't remember where that was, or what I did, as it was months ago and I forgot to write it down. I have to do it again, because I reinstalled Arch on this machine after a GPU swap (from AMD to nVidia, because the AMD card was broken, and I had a 3070 laying around). It was working fine before, on my Arch system and my Fedora system, but now It's not working on either (same problem, read-only permissions). I've been using Linux in general for about a year, and Arch for maybe six months. Please help! And thanks. #Arch4Life

Re: [SOLVED] Samba/CIFS Permissions; I've tried everything.

Please post the outputs of

mount | grep JettaNAS
stat /home/jetta/JettaNAS

You might just have forgotten to set the proper uid/gid for the mount, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Samba#Manual_mounting
But in general, those permissions are controlled on the server (the synology NAS settings)

Re: [SOLVED] Samba/CIFS Permissions; I've tried everything.

uid=0,gid=1000
Access: (0755/drwxr-xr-x)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: ( 1000/   jetta)

You can probably

sudo touch /home/jetta/JettaNAS/test.file

?
=> Fix the uid mount option.

Do I just add

uid=0,gid=1000

to the fstab options?

Re: [SOLVED] Samba/CIFS Permissions; I've tried everything.

sudo touch /home/jetta/JettaNAS/test.file

did add test.file to the drive, so sudo does have write access. I'm looking to give myself write access, though.

Re: [SOLVED] Samba/CIFS Permissions; I've tried everything.

I changed my fstab entry to this:

vers=3.0,username=vwagenjetta,password={password},nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dir_mode=0770,file_mode=0770 0 0

and it works now. Sigh of relief
