Description Marcel 2026-01-27 09:04:20 UTC

Loading network shares using an entry in fstab does not work:
Example entry in fstab:
//nas-xyz/music /media/music cifs users,credentials=/home/user-dir/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,vers=2.0,auto,rw 0 0

This entry has been tested in Manjaro, Zorin, and Tuxedoos and works perfectly everywhere.

Error message when I mount everything in the terminal:

[marcel@marcel-kdelinux:~] $ sudo mount -a
[sudo] Password for marcel:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

Thanks for the bug report. Since you've indicated you're using KDE Linux, I'd recommend filing a bug with that project.  To report issues with KDE Linux itself (i.e. installation, OS design, integration, system services, etc), use [invent.kde.org](https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/issues/new), and ignore the scary red banner at the top of the page. 

Please see this for more information. Thanks.

As described on the kde-linux desktop, I visited bugs.kde.org and reported the error there. This is required by the system. Why shouldn't I report a “bug” in kde-linux there as well? I don't quite understand your suggestion. Could you explain it to me? Thank you.
