I have read the Arch Wiki till i am blue in the face already hence the mail .. mounting with SMB using the line below mount -t cifs //192.168.0.154/backups -o /home/pete/nas/ After entering the password it mounts . mount reports .. //192.168.0.154/backups on /home/pete/nas type cifs (rw,relatime,sec=ntlm,unc=\\192.168.0.154\backups, uid=0,username=root,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=192.168.0.154,unix,posixpaths,serverino,acl,rsize=1048576,wsize=65536,actimeo=1) i can see one thing but cant alter it username=root but you can only mount as root or using sudo as i have been unless of course you know different.
add uid=pete in the mount options. I don't know if it's documented in the wiki, but sure it is in the `man mount.cifs` :) -- дамјан
