Trouble with Permissions

General Computing *nix and other operating systems

I cant seem to change the permissions on a mounted share folder.

I can happily read/write to it but I cant change the file permissions (trying to use rsync with the -a (archive) command so that everything is preserved) and it wont work.

I cant even sudo chmod 777 /mnt/slug/

My mount command is this

mount -t smbfs //192.168.1.77/Documents /mnt/slug/ -o credentials=/home/chris/.smbpasswd,uid=chris,gid=chris

Anyone see where I’m going wrong?

//10.10.10.10/mountdrive /mnt/mountdir smbfs username=name%pass,dmask=777,fmask=777 0 0

I think you have the smbfs wrong place

I’ve sorted it now. Using the program I use on Vista (Syncback) on Ubuntu under Wine and that’s sorted my problem.
