Mounting drive not getting full access

Question

I am having problem with mounting.. I bought iOmega Storage box ix200. I shared a folder from iOmega box for 10 users.

I mounted this shared drive in all 10 Virtual machines by editing /etc/fstab file. After rebooting the drive got mounted. But when a user accessing it and tries to create a new file it shows lock symbol on it.

But if i try to access this drive from Menu - Location and, from there put File server IP and do then i am able to create a file without lock symbol. It's opening read-only for all the users.

This is happening for all the users except 1 user. If i assign that user then its working fine. Can someone guide me what may be the issue.

Hi Thanks for your response. Please find below information

root@JHSP-Christopher:~# cat /etc/fstab

/etc/fstab: static file system information.

#

Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).

Answer 1

May be there is a problem in fstab entries. Check out 4th column for mount options and ensure that it is not in ro. That means read-only. If it is so, then change it to rw- read write.
