Ok I've hit the limit of my limited understanding about how share permissions work in FreeNAS and need some guidance/insight.
I have a pool, called Media. I then have an SMB share for this pool, in which I have "Allow Guest Access" enabled.
From my Linux workstation (Xubuntu), if I use the file manager (Thunar) to browse to the smb:// path, I get the dialog "Password required for share media on..." and for "Connect as" there's an option for "Anonymous". If I choose that, I can mount it fine with no password.
Files created through Thunar on this mounted path are created as nobody:wheel which is just fine, and everything works great (there are services running on the system that access these files, so that's why the permissions are broad. Also, I'm the only one accessing this).
So far so good.
Now, I have a service on my Linux workstation that can't use network paths like that. I need to create a proper mount. Very well. I create an fstab entry with type "cifs" and options "guest,rw". When I mount it, I'm not asked for a password, just as before. Perfect. However, here I am unable to edit and only have read access.
I'm missing something elementary here, but it's a combination of nuances that results in the answer totally escaping me. Show me what I'm doing wrong, and help me understand?
