samba mount unavailable to user

[Ital]

Hello I'm running the android-x86_64-7.1-r2 on vmware.

I managed to mount a samba share on /sdcard/dar, via the command shown herebelow (sorry I'm unable to find a way to copy/paste texr from the shell):

Once mounted the share, I can see the contents correctly, but only with super-user privileges. Instead, when listing the contents of /sdcard/dar as normal user, I cannot see anything, as shown herebelow:

How can I get access to the samba share also as a normal user?

Thank you in advance

Could someone share its experience on mounting a samba share? As written, I'm able to mount correctly but the resource is only available to the superuser.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks

May use the sdcard daemon to map it.

Thank you Chih-Wei,

how can I do that? I'm a newbie and don't know how I can manage the sdcard daemon...

Hello Chih-Wei,

I tried to find documentation on how to mount in android-x86 the samba share as normal user but I'm at a dead point.

I'm even unable to find proper documentation of the android x86 features. The documentation in the website about the sdcard ( http://www.android-x86.org/documents/sdcardhowto ) seem to be outdated: I read about the presence of fstab, which I don't even find in android 7.1. Could you point me to the right direction?

In particular, if I understand correctly, are you suggesting me to add in the kernel line before boot the string "sdcard=//192.168.XXX.XXX/sambaShare" ?  I added that line but nothing happened, android booted normally without the share. How can I specify that the filesystem is CIFS (samba), where I do specify samba accessing credentials? and the mount point? I didn't find any documentation about that.

Normally, on a linux machine, this should be a matter of just few seconds: i.e. I would add to the /etc/fstab the samba share line, and it would just work.

Could I mount with fstab in android-x86_64-7.1-r2? Is there any documentation?

Surely is my fault, being a newbie to android-x86, but I'm unable to perform most elemental operations due to lack of proper documentation.

Could you suggest me where I can start to learn using this operating system (maybe better if with reference only to the differences to linux, that I know quite well).

Thank you,

Ital
