Permissions different from terminal login compared to desktop login?

[maxwatts]

Login to truenas share from ubuntu desktop works fine, but login from terminal with same credentials does not.

e.g.

sudo mount -t cifs -o username=blah,password=rubbishpassword,gid=1001,uid=1001 //truenas.local/exampleshare /home/user/TN

Cannot then write to /home/user/TN without using sudo. The permissions on the linux box for the directory TN change to root:root

However, if I use the desktop environment and connect to //truenas.local/exampleshare via the file manager, all is well. I can then create and delete files and folders AS the same user. The permissions (from a terminal) show blah:blah

What is the difference between the two, and what am I missing? I need to attach to the truenas server from other linux boxes that do not have a desktop environment.

Your Ubuntu user is UID 1001? Are you sure? In the mount parameters, you need to use the UID/GID of the client's local user, not the user's UID in TrueNAS.

Otherwise, you can try including the parameters forceuid and forcegid in your mount command.

I wasn't seeing the wood for the trees. Your observation skills are ninja like! Thank you !
