I know a thing or two about running in a Linux environment but I am not pro when it comes to it.

I have a server running windows server 2008 and I can no longer seem to mount its network shares.

using the following commands in my fstab file

//192.168.0.30/media /mnt/media cifs username=Chris,password=password,_netdev 0 0


This did work at one time and now it just shoots me back the following error

An error occurred while accessing 'software on //192.168.0.30', the system responded: mount: only root can mount //192.168.0.30/media on /mnt/media


How do I go about giving it permission to allow it to mount?!

You can add the 'user' option to fstab to allow users to mount it. So:

//192.168.0.30/media /mnt/media cifs username=Chris,password=password,_netdev,user 0 0

Or you could run the mount command as root:

sudo mount /mnt/media

I'm not sure why it's not auto-mounting for you but this should fix the permissions error.
