When I try to write to a network CIFS drive I consistently get
~/RetroPie/roms $ touch test
touch: cannot touch 'test': Permission denied
The network drive is an LVM volume mounted on one raspberry pi as so:
pi@Pi4:~$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/mediaFiles-mediaFilesLV /media/lvm ext4 defaults 0 2
With these permissions
pi@Pi4:~$ ls -lh /media/lvm/
drwxr-xr-x 32 pi pi 4.0K Sep 4 18:26 roms
It's shared via samba with the following /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
# Basic Samba configuration
server role = standalone server
passdb backend = tdbsam
;obey pam restrictions = yes
security = user
;printcap name = /dev/null
;load printers = no
;socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=524288 SO_SNDBUF=524288
server string = Samba Server %v
map to guest = bad user
;dns proxy = no
;wide links = yes
;follow symlinks = yes
;unix extensions = no
;acl allow execute always = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 1000
log level = 2
mdns name = mdns
ea support = yes
# Special configuration for Apple's Time Machine
vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
fruit:aapl = yes
fruit:model = MacSamba
fruit:encoding = native
[PiMedia]
comment = Pi4 shared folder
path = /media/lvm
read only = no
guest ok = yes
only guest = yes
I then mount it on another raspberry pi with systemd
pi@RemotePi:~ $ cat /etc/systemd/system/home-pi-RetroPie-roms.mount
[Unit]
Description=ROMs folder
[Mount]
What=//Pi4.local/PiMedia/roms
Where=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms
Type=cifs
Options=rw,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000,guest,noperm,noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.mount-timeout=30,_netdev
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
And it looks like the permissions are fine
pi@RemotePi:~ $ ls -lh /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 2 pi pi 0 Sep 4 17:26 amstradcpc
drwxrwxrwx 2 pi pi 0 Sep 4 17:26 arcade
drwxrwxrwx 2 pi pi 0 Sep 4 17:26 atari2600
drwxrwxrwx 2 pi pi 0 Sep 4 17:26 atari5200
drwxrwxrwx 2 pi pi 0 Sep 4 17:26 atari7800
...
But when I try to write
pi@RemotePi:~ $ touch RetroPie/roms/test
touch: cannot touch 'RetroPie/roms/test': Permission denied
It won't let me.
Where have I gone wrong?
