"Delete Fail" over network

[Uno]

I have had this PBO for about three weeks now and I love it!
I do have a few questions that I have not found answers for in the forum.
I will only ask one here.

I have edited the rcS file to mount a network share using this example:

mount -t cifs //10.10.10.10/Movies -o username=guest /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Movies

Movies shows up under HDD and works great with one exception, if I try to delete a file via the options button, it doesn't work and I get the message "delete fail"

I have no problem deleting a file with the options button if I browse it to from the network.

My shared folder is on a box running XP Pro with no security & set up to allow access to all & allow file changes. I have tried changing "guest" to "administrator" and other user names.

I am hard wired with static IP's
My PBO has system revision P020P05 & bootup 23 (as is out of box)

Shouldn't I be able to delete from a mounted share?

I think you need to mount the share as rw (read/write).

mount -t cifs //10.10.10.10/Movies -o username=guest,rw /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Movies

mount -t cifs //10.10.10.10/Movies -o username=guest,rw /tmp/ramfs/volumes/Movies

I haven't got it working yet. I must have something wrong with the syntax.
I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks for your assistance!

I just can't get passed this "delete fail" when trying to delete a file from a mounted share using the options button. The rw parameter is not working for me.

I am convinced it has nothing to do with permissions of the share on the XP box. From PBO, if I browse the network to the share, i can delete a file with no problem. When accessing the share in this manor, from the XP box I can see that REALTEK_GUEST is logged on as a guest.

When I use the rcS file to mount the share, from the XP box I can see that guest is logged on as a guest. But I can't delete a file.

I have tried other parameters such as file_mode=0777 with no luck.

What am I missing?

You are mounting it under the guest user and apparently the guest user on the system doesn't have everything access to the files so thus you can't delete any. You need to go check the permissions on the share and give everyone full access read write and execute and then it will work.

As i have stated,

When I browse the net on the pbo to access the network share, I can delete a file on the XP share with no problem. Looking from the XP box, the pbo is logged in to the XP box as user REALTEK_GUEST as a guest. The XP box is set up using the default simple file sharing. Any windows computer in the house can log in and delete a file. Other than the default guest account and the administrator account, there are no accounts set up. I assume if one guest can delete a file, all should be able to.

I have tried mounting as user REALTEK_GUEST. No difference.

As a test, I did created a specific user on the XP box then use that user and password for the mount. No difference, I can access the mounted share and play a file, but still get the "delete fail". I can go to a different xp computer and log onto the XP share as that user and delete a file.

So with that, I have to believe it has to do with the permissions of the folder that is mounted on the PBO and not the XP share.
