Can mount nfs with read and write, Cant create or delete file in CIFS ?

ANANTA999 — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:56:57 GMT

My client is able to mount a qtree and he is using it in LInux environment . While Using CIFS, When he tries to create or delete file, he is hit by : Access denied/Path not found.

Details.

user has same username in both windows and linux

user has entry in usermap.cfg file.

cifs is shared to everyone with change permission.

nfs is exported with rw permission.

Security style of qtree is Unix. However, it shouldn't matter coz I have it in usermap.cfg file.

The only thing I can think of is /etc/passwd that will have uid and gid of unix user. I have tried it.

Seriously it is frustrating to beginners like me when encountered with these issues.

Communities member please help.

Work through the following NetApp KB

https://kb.netapp.com/support/index?page=content&id=1012304

This KB walks through several methods by which to troubleshoot CIFS permissions issues depending on the version of ONTAP you are running.
