chown and chmod automaticly on boot

I've created a samba share, but in order to give myself permission to access it completely I needed to use the following commands:

sudo chown –R root:users /mnt/My_Network_Drive

and

sudo chmod –R ug+rwx,o+rx-w /mnt/My_Network_Drive

Now this worked great, however when I restarted my Raspberry Pi that I'm using for this samba share, I needed to enter these commands again in order for it to work.

Is there any way I can have those commands automatically work on reboot?

Solution

  • You should correct this by passing the corresponding options uid and gid to mount instead of using chmod afterwards. If you don't use mount directly you can also set those options in /etc/fstab.
