Unable to create files under CIFS share mount point in AIX.

  • 1.  Unable to create files under CIFS share mount point in AIX.

    Posted Tue February 07, 2023 07:51 AM
    Hi All,

    I have mounted a CIFS share from windows server to AIX server 7.1.
    Now, I'm unable to create file/directory under root share but I'm able to create in nested directories of that share.
    Please find the below logs and let me know if any information required.

    Hi 

    Did you have a look at the directory under the mountpoint? Maybe the rigths there ar not ok?
    TIP: You can see the rights (an the possible files!) by mounting that dir. You dont have to unmount it. Something like:
    mkdir /tmpmout
    mount /files4-testmount /tmpmnt
    ls -l /tmpmount

    Hope this helps

    I think I made an error here. I think it should be:

    mount / /tmpmount

    Given the fact that the mountpoint is in the / filesystem.
