I solved this problem by replacing the gid=nas by uid=ccidral and now
it's working fine. The mount command now looks like this:
mount -t cifs -o
uid=ccidral,username=ccidral,password=my-password-here
//10.1.1.132/DEVELOPMENT$ /mnt/repositories
Of course, uid=ccidral refers to a local user and username=ccidral
refers to a NT Domain user, but it's not mandatory to use the same
name for both.
I wondered why it didn't work with only the gid. Since the user as
which Apache is actually running is in the 'nas' group, it seemed to
me that it should work. But looking inside a transaction directory of
a failed commit, I noticed that only the owner has both read and write
grants to the file, as you can see below. And in that case root was
the owner of everything under that directory.
ccidral@m195601-ubuntu:/repo/nas/xyz/db/transactions/1-2.txn$ ls -l
total 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root repo 0 2006-01-19 14:55 changes
-rw-r--r-- 1 root repo 4 2006-01-19 14:55 next-ids
-rw-r--r-- 1 root repo 124 2006-01-19 14:55 node.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root repo 0 2006-01-19 14:55 props
-rw-r--r-- 1 root repo 0 2006-01-19 14:55 rev
Setting the uid=ccidral instead of gid caused the filesystem to set
ccidral as the owner, and then my commits started working because
Apache was running with the same user passed as an option to the mount
command.
