I want to mount a samba sghare to a directory in my home dir. I have created it but mount the share as root. Upon mount, the owner of my dir changes to root and my user doesn't have permission tow rite files on the share... How do I modify my mount line to be able to mount with write permissions? It currently looks like this: sudo mount -t cifs //IP/share/ /mount/point/ -o rw,username=user,password=pass,domain=domain
directory changes permission when mounted
permissions;mount;samba
Use the uid and gid mount options:uid=argsets the uid that will own all files or directories on the mounted  filesystem when the server does not provide ownership information. It  may be specified as either a username or a numeric uid. When not  specified, the default is uid 0. The mount.cifs helper must be at  version 1.10 or higher to support specifying the uid in non-numeric  form. See the section on FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND PERMISSIONS  below for more information.forceuidinstructs the client to ignore any uid provided by the server for  files and directories and to always assign the owner to be the value  of the uid= option. See the section on FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP  AND PERMISSIONS below for more information.gid=argsets the gid that will own all files or directories on the mounted filesystem when the server does not provide ownership  information. It may be specified as either a groupname or a numeric  gid. When not specified, the default is gid 0. The mount.cifs helper  must be at version 1.10 or higher to support specifying the gid in  non-numeric form. See the section on FILE AND DIRECTORY OWNERSHIP AND  PERMISSIONS below for more information.
