Mounting smb share using fstab, getting "home" permission denied error

Hello,

I have a linux machine/server with a smb file share setup in my home network, works great. However, I’m trying to automount that share in my manjaro kde plasma machine. I can access the share just fine through dolphin with no issues. BUT, when I try including an entry with the fstab to automount that share, it gives me the permission denied error with the “home” folder. I’ve tried several permutations but nothing has worked so far.

So, I have a folder created in my specific home folder called skydrive (full path would be /home/ray/skydrive). And I’m trying to mount my smb share on another machine to that folder on boot, but keep getting the “home” permission denied error.

Here is my fstab entry:

//10.x.x.xx/skydrive /home/ray/skydrive cifs username=ray,password=mypass,rw,uid=ray,gid=ray,vers=3.0 0 0
  • There are two forward slashes before ip, I just cant include because forum flags as links

  • my samba server has the share created with the access creds u=ray p=mypass also, its always been that way.

  • I have the latest fully updated manjaro kde plasma
