How to Mount an SMB Share on a Directory You Own
Note:
If you own the directory on which you want to mount a share, you can perform the mount operation yourself. If you do not own the directory, you must perform the mount operation as the owner of the directory or as superuser.- Verify that the
network/smb/client
service is enabled.$ svcs network/smb/client STATE STIME FMRI online 19:24:36 svc:/network/smb/client:default
This service is enabled by default, so the usual state for the service is
online
. To enable the service, type the following command:$ svcadm enable -r network/smb/client
- Find the share that you want to mount from a server.
$ smbadm show-shares [-A | -u username] [-t] server
-
-A
-
Enables you to view shares anonymously
-
-u
-
Indicates the user to authenticate on the specified SMB server
-
-t
-
Displays a heading for the output
If neither the
-A
nor the-u
option is specified, the user that is running the command is authenticated on the SMB server. -
- Create a mount point on which to mount the share.
$ mkdir mount-point
For example, to create a mount point called
/tmp/mnt
, type:$ mkdir /tmp/mnt
- Perform the mount on your directory.
$ mount -F smbfs [-o dirperms=octal-triplet,fileperms=octal-triplet,gid=group-ID,\ uid=user-ID,user=username,...] //server/share mount-point
For example, to mount the
tmp
share from thesolarsystem
server on the/tmp/mnt
mount point, type:$ mount -F smbfs //solarsystem/tmp /tmp/mnt
You can use the following options to set the directory access permissions in the client:
-
dirperms=
octal-triplet – Specifies the directory permissions that you can set to the directories. Thedirperms
permission does not affect the access policies that the SMB server maintains. By default, the system uses the value that you set for thefileperms
. The system then addsexecute
permissions to thefileperms
settings.For example, you can set
dirperms
to700
to prevent group members from accessing the directory.$ ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 staff 2 Dec 16 13:57 /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs -o dirperms=770 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% gid -gn staff user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test drwxrwx---+ 1 user1 staff 512 Aug 27 14:58 /export/home/user1/mnt/test user2% exit $ umount /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs -o dirperms=700 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su -user2 user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test /export/home/user1/mnt/test:Permission denied
-
fileperms=
octal-triplet – Specifies the file permissions that you can set to the files on a mount point. Thefileperms
permission does not affect the access policies that the SMB server maintains. By default, the file permission is700
.For example, you can set
fileperms
to770
to enable the group associated with the mount point to access files on the mount point.$ ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 staff 2 Dec 16 13:57 /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% gid -gn staff user2% ls -l /export/home/user1/mnt/test.file /export/home/user1/mnt/test.file: Permission denied user2% exit $ umount /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs -o fileperms=770 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% ls -l /export/home/user1/mnt/test.file -rwx------+ 1 user1 staff 0 Dec 16 15:56 /tmp/mnt/test.file
-
gid=
group-ID – Specifies the group ID that you can set as the effective group. The effective group uses the group permissions that is set for the mount point. By default, the value ofgid
is the group ID of the mount point.The following example shows that the group ownership of the mount point
/export/home/user1/mnt
is set tostaff
. You can set thegid
tonot_staff
to enable the users in thenot_staff
group to access the files on the mount point.$ ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt drwxr-xr-x 2 user1 staff 2 Dec 16 13:57 /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount -F smbfs -o dirperms=770 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su -user2 user2% gid -gn not_staff user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test /export/home/user1/mnt/test: Permission denied user2% exit $ umount /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount -F smbfs -o gid=not_staff,dirperms=770 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test drwxr-x---+ 1 user1 staff 512 Dec 16 15:56 /tmp/mnt/test
-
uid=
user-ID – Specifies the local user ID that you can set as the effective owner. The effective owner uses the owner permissions that is set for the mount point. By default, the value ofuid
is the user ID of the mount point.For example, to enable
user2
to access the mounted files, you can setuid
touser2
.$ ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt drwx------ 2 user1 staff 2 Dec 16 13:57 /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test /export/home/user1/mnt/test: Permission denied user2% exit $ umount /export/home/user1/mnt $ mount - F smbfs -o uid=user2 //server/share /export/home/user1/mnt $ su - user2 user2% ls -ld /export/home/user1/mnt/test drwxr-x---+ 1 user1 staff 512 Dec 16 15:56 /tmp/mnt/test
