Network drive mounting problem

[Boris Cat]

Hi all

I decided to to use an old windows 98 PC as a backup storage thing for my network.
You know, a simple script run once a day to backup my source code type thing

However

After mounting the windows hard drive to my file system I cannot seem to be able to write to any files
I can read the contents, create folders and files but not write to any

Heres the command I used
mount //192.168.62.52/HD2 /Sharedstuff/ -t cifs -o servern=BORIS,rw,uid=500,gid=500

I must be missing something, but what

Boris, could you provide a screen print of an error?

For example, may be when you are trying to write to the filesystem.

Also, may be the uname -r as well as df -i information would be useful to see.

Are you able to copy from the mounted directory back to your linux system?
