Mount network share with RW

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Server Version#: 3.81.1
Hi

I cannot delete any content from my library. Message is a regular warning there was a problem deleting this item.

My fstab info:
//192.168.35.51/movies /media/movies cifs username=username,password=password
//192.168.35.51/series /media/series cifs username=username,password=password
//192.168.35.51/music /media/music cifs username=username,password=password

when i try to delete it fom the server itself, i get the message:

rm: remove write-protected regular file ‘movie.mp4’? y
rm: cannot remove ‘movie.mp4’: Permission denied

Can someone please point me out what i forgot here?

thx!

Sounds like a user rights/file ownership issue.

Are the files on your Synology box or does the DiskStation access another server?

maybe try and add ,rw to the end of your fstab so it gets mounted ad read write?
but yeah sounds like a permissions or ownership issue.

Here’s the SMB how-to for Linux.

Hi, thx for your response:

My fstab config:

//syno/volume1/share /nas/share cifs auto,defaults,nofail,credentials=/etc/mediacenter.cred,uid=mediacenter 0 0

Throws error : bad option uid=“mediacenter” ==> i changed credentials plex to this one because this is a know account on the syno

Hi. Synology box. Everything works fine when i try with a windows client or via Filestation on the NAS itself

If I may share a word of caution?

/etc/fstab being in the root fs, is subject to being erased/overwritten by DSM updates.

Your best course of action is to make the mount ‘remount at startup’ in FileStation. This stores it in the configuration database and not in the flat file.
