View Full Version : non-root cannot mount user cifs mount point

The 'user' option for mount does not seem to allow non-root users to mount a mount.cifs volume. My fstab reads as follows:
//fileserver/myshare /mnt/network/fileserver cifs user,noauto,exec,credentials=/home/myname/.cifs-credentials,uid=myname,gid=myname,rw 0 0
When I try to mount without root I get a "mount error 1 = Operation not permitted" error message. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to set certain permissions on the mount points? Please advise.

TIA
Ricardo

There are major issues with the cifs files system driver:
