On my Linux box running Ubuntu 12.04LTS I am able to mount a share using cifs.
The shared folder in question is located at a Mac Pro running Mavericks.
Here is the fstab on the Ubuntu/Linux box.
//132.13.6.5/Data /home/sro/Mount cifs username=sro,password=psw,nounix,sec=ntlmssp,rw
/Mount on the Linux box has these permissions:
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 0 Jan 16 13:29 Mount
I can read /Mount/Data but not write (I get a permission error).
I think this is because /Mount is created by root and I am trying this a user.
But I am unable to change /Mount permissions or ownership even using sudo.
On the Mac/Mavericks side, /Data has read/write permissions.
Any ideas how to solve this?
The issue here was a missing UID/GID pair. Apparently when those are absent the default owner of the share will be root.
So my fstab line should look like this:
//132.13.6.5/Data /home/sro/Mount cifs username=sro,password=psw,nounix,sec=ntlmssp,rw,uid=1001,gid=1001
Two things:
your UID/GID may not be 1001 so better check with the id command first
you may want to use permission masks as detailed here.
add to your fstab line uid=your_user_name your line will be:
//132.13.6.5/Data /home/sro/Mount cifs username=sro,password=psw,nounix,sec=ntlmssp,rw,uid=your_user_name
That way you are asking linux to set that user as owner of filesystem being mounted.

I am trying to setup Docker with Jenkins and I need to read /var/run/docker.sock.
I tried temporarily to set permission 666 on file /var/run/docker.sock but when I try to read it as jenkins user it says permission denied.
As far as I know if file permission is 666 any user can read it.
srw-rw-rw- 1 root docker 0 Oct 17 17:05 docker.sock
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 1100 Oct 17 17:05 run
Directory permission is not issue, /run directory has permission 755. Selinux is disabled. Jenkins user is part of docker gorup.
I do not know what is the problem.
Kind regards,
Ivan
create jenkins user on your host
get this user id
change ownership of /var/jenkins_home to fetched id.
I found the problem, I was mounting /etc/passwd and /etc/groups to docker container but for some reason docker didn't correctly added jenkins user to docker group inside container.
I had to add group_add: - <docker_group_id> inside docker-compose file. Now everything is working as expected.
I thought that there was some problem with Centos OS but I found out that someone already had this problem documented at this link: Linux user groups missing when user mounted to container
I hope this information will help someone.
I am trying to do an NFS mount using CHEF. I have mounted it successfully. Please find the below code.
# Execute mount
node['chef_book']['mount_path'].each do |path_name|
mount "/#{path_name['local']}" do
device "10.34.56.1:/data"
fstype 'nfs'
options 'rw'
retries 3
retry_delay 30
action %i[mount enable]
end
end
i am able to successfully mount and make an entry in fstab file. But, after mounting the user:group for the mount linked is changing to root:root , which i was not expecting.
i want to use myuser:mygroup as owner:group. I tried changing the same using chown command but am getting permission denied issue
request some guidance
As mentioned in the comment, this is not something Chef controls per se. After the mount, the folder will be owned by whatever the NFS server says. You can try to chmod the folder after mounting but that's up to your NFS configuration and whatnot as to if it will be allowed.
Agenda: To have an common Project Folder between Linux and Windows
I have changed my document root from : /var/www/html to /media/mithun/Projects/test in my ubuntu machine 14.04
I get error as :
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
So i added some scripts to : sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
# DocumentRoot /var/www/html
DocumentRoot /media/mithun/Projects/test
But Document Root /var/www/test works but not with Windows NTFS Partition Drive.
Even after referring to :
Error message "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server"
Issue with my Ubuntu Apache Conf file. (Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.)
No success :( So kindly assist me with it...
Note: Projects is an New Volume (Internal Drive: In Windows its E:/ Drive)

maybe the problem is simple : is your new root directory accessible to the www-data user ?
Try :
$ chown -R www-data:www-data /media/mithun/Projects
As you have you have discovered by now, you cannot just manipulate permissions on an NTFS partition (using tools like chmod)
However, you can try forcing a given owner/permissions for the entire partition when you mount it.
Now the wayto do this, depends on the NTFS-utilities you are actually using (and which i don't know, so I'm assuming you are using ntfs-3g)
E.g. mount the partition with the following parameters (replace dev/sdX with your actual partition, and /path/to/wheredrive/is/mounted` with your target path):
mount -o gid=www-data /dev/sdX /path/where/the/drive/is/mounted
should make all the files on the partition belong to the www-data group.
If the filesystem sets the group ownership explicitely, this still might not work.
In this case, you might need to setup a usermap, that maps your windows users/groups (as found on the partition) to your linux users/groups.
The ntfs-3g.usermap utility will help you generate an initial usermap file, which you can then edit to your needs:
ntfs-3g.usermap /dev/sdX
Then pass the usermap to the mount options:
mount -o usermapping=/path/to/usermap.file /dev/sdX /path/where/the/drive/is/mounted
I suspect that you have apparmor enforcing rules that prevent Apache from reading non-whitelisted directory paths. I suggest that you
Edit the apparmor config for Apache to access your custom path. You'll need to hunt around /etc/apparmor.d/ . You may also find that using apparmor in non-enforcing mode helpful.
$ sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/*
Use mod_apparmor? See this
Or disable apparmor completely. See this
My order of preference would be 1,3,2. That should fix this for you :)
While using ubuntu with windows I faced same issue and it is resolved by remounting drive with read and write access. Below command will help you to do that:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /disk/location /disk/new_location
If it is still not working then in windows os, go to the power options and disable fast startup.
When you shut down a computer with Fast Startup enabled, Windows locks down the Windows hard disk. You won’t be able to access it from other operating systems if you have your computer configured to dual-boot. Even worse, if you boot into another OS and then access or change anything on the hard disk (or partition) that the hibernating Windows installation uses, it can cause corruption. If you’re dual booting, it’s best not to use Fast Startup or Hibernation at all.

I am running Linux (Lubutu 12.10) on an older machine with a 20GB hard drive. I have a 1 TB external hard drive with an NTFS partition on it. On that partition, there is www directory that holds my web content. It is auto-mounted at startup as /media/t515/NTFS.
I would like to change the apache document directory from /var/www to /media/t515/NTFS/www.
I need to keep the partition as an NTFS partition, because I use the same hard drive on a different machine running WAMP.
I changed the file "default" in /etc/apache2/sites-available to the new location, and restarted the server. When I tried to go to local host, I got the error:
403 Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
I then changed the automount options in fstab to include the option "umask=0000", and then to "umask=2200", both to no avail. I still get the same error message.
I can access the NTFS partition with no problem from other applications, and when logged in as any user. But Apache seems to be unable (or unwilling) to access the partition. How do I give apache permission to use a directory on an NTFS partition?
After many many attempts here is what succeeded for me and nothing else that is : changing the configuration of Apache so that it uses www-data (Apache user) no more but my own user instead.
Very simple to do. In my version of Apache the two lines to be changed are in the /etc/apache2/envvars file (it can be another file in another version) :
export APACHE_RUN_USER=www-data
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=www-data
I replaced www-data by my user name (here toto :)) :
export APACHE_RUN_USER=toto
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=toto
In my experience I've always had to remount the drive with RW permissions. found this:
sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,user,fmask=0022,dmask=0000 /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever
or:
For NTFS partitions, use the permissions option in fstab.
First unmount the ntfs partition.
Then edit /etc/fstab
Graphical gksu gedit /etc/fstab
Command line sudo -e /etc/fstab
Identify your partition UUID with blkid
sudo blkid
And add or edit a line for the ntfs partition
# change the "UUID" to your partition UUID
UUID=12102C02102CEB83 /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0
Make a mount point (if needed)
sudo mkdir /media/windows
Now mount the partition
mount /media/windows
The options I gave you, auto, will automatically mount the partition
when you boot and users allows users to mount and umount .
You can then use chown and chmod on the ntfs partition.
Both found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-to-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition
None of the answers above solve the issue, in fact, the problem is related to Apache itself, not filesystem or permissions.
The only thing you need to do is :
<Directory "/www/mywebdirectoryinapartitioneddisk">
Require all granted
</Directory>
this will solve the issue
here the post in my blog explaining everything in detail. It could work on NTFS
http://www.tbogard.com/2014/09/12/making-apache-server-to-read-a-partitioned-disk-the-definitive-solution/
It's actually quite simple:
1) Create a local user on the Windows host
2) Grant appropriate NTFS permissions to that user
3) Verify access (Windows only)
... THEN ...
4) Configure your NTFS mount on Linux to use the same Windows user and group (Linux user/group is irrelevant here)
5) Configure Apache to use that Linux group (Linux user/group is essential here)
i am accessing another ununtu linux system by ssh
now when i am going to change the permission of any file in that system then it shows
chmod: changing permissions of `Android.mk': Read-only file system
chmod: changing permissions of `system_init.cpp': Read-only file system
i have tried with sudo and login as root but still not getting why i am not able to change the permission of that files.?
Well the error message states the reason pretty clearly. Have you checked how the filesystem in question is mounted? Is the ro mount option set by any chance? If you have root access you can remount the filesystem without the read-only option, if that is a sensible thing to do in this case. It must have a reason why the fileystem was mounted read-only in the first place.
