Ubuntu 18.04 - Unable to chown ext4 network drive
I have a nested VM running Ubuntu Server 18.04 (mounted via Virtual Machine Manager - KVM). I am unable to change ownership and permissions on a network drive in a Synology server.
The drive is mounted via fstab:
//192.168.1.11/Seedbox /mnt/Seedbox ext4 username=****,password=****,rw,iocharset=utf8, 0 0
I´m unable to chown the mounting point /mnt/Seedbox to give ownership to debian-transmission so that transmission can write to the disk.
I tried mounting it as CIFS -> same problem.
The drives are in a Synology Hybrid RAID and the file system is shown as ext4 on the sylogy web admin site.
I don't understand what the problem is here, chown, chgrp and chmod all seem to not change anything, but don´t throw an error/warning.
The command ls -l /mnt/Seedbox returns :
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 14 21:44 Seedbox
linux ubuntu permissions mount nas

(1) If the commandls -l /mnt/Seedboxreports information about a directory calledSeedbox, then that means that you are looking at/mnt/Seedbox/Seedbox. Can you clarify? (2) Is “sylogy” a typo for “Synology”?

Why is the third field ext4? That does not make sense in context of the fstable (first field) which implies a CIFS mount. If you are using a CIFS mount you may need to map permissions using uid=XXX,gid=XXX

Why is the third field ext4? That does not make sense in context of the fstable (first field) which implies a CIFS mount. If you are using a CIFS mount you may need to map permissions using uid=XXX,gid=XXX
