Hi, I am trying to create a Samba share on /media/winshare with the owner as amandabackup instead of root. But as soon as I mount the Samba share on to the mount point, the permissions for the owner get reverted back to root instead of amandabackup. Attaching a snapshot of how it looks like. AmandaBackup:/media # chown amandabackup:disk winshare/ AmandaBackup:/media # ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 24 14:39 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 amandabackup disk 48 May 30 13:05 winshare AmandaBackup:/media # mount -t smbfs -o username=linuxbak //10.80.101.15/LinuxBak /media/winshare/ Password: AmandaBackup:/media # ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 May 24 14:39 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 May 31 12:16 winshare AmandaBackup:/media #
