How to write as a root to external storage

Where you have "username=xxx,password=xxxx", change that to "username=xxx,password=xxxx,uid=0,gid=0"

The problem with CIFS is that it's being logged into as a certain user (username/password), so all file/directory ownerships are actually by that username.  Adding the "uid=0,gid=0" option makes it appear as if the owner/group is root/root.

It would be much better if they had the option of using NFS, then you could have real multi-user ownership instead of the limits SMB puts on it.

Hi TRW-Consulting,

Thanks for your help, and yes i can do that with NFS but how?

I have tried to mount with NFS,
0.0.0.0:/shares/SRV9         /backup                 nfs     defaults        0 0

It didnt worked out, getting this error.

mount: 95.0.197.6:/shares/SRV9 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied

Can you help me what should i do on WD Storage Side?

thanks

thanks
