Question Can't overwrite a file into a mount file
Hi,

I have mounted an /mnt/shared folder from a Dlink box into RedHat 5 box.

mount -t cifs -rw -o username=root,password=blablabla
//10.2.36.109/Volume_1 /mnt/shared

After that it does not allow me to overwrite any flat files, just create new files, even for files which are as rwxrwxrwx.

We do the same thing into a Redhat 3 box and that does not happens.

It might be something about restorecon, but I don't know how to use it in that case? I mean which options shall I use.

Any ideas?

What do you mean by "flat files"? Have you tried as both root and non-root?
