Having mounted a windows share using /etc/fstab ...

//192.168.10.10/Share /mnt/share/nmshare cifs username=USER,password=PASS,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

but face an issue with a sync updating the file timestamps.

Basically, the sync copies the new / updated files, but encounters an error when it tries to modify the timestamps - are we missing a metadata switch?

Thinking that the inability to modify the timestamps was due to a lack of "ownership" of the mounted folder, amended the /etc/fstab entry as follow ...

//192.168.10.10/Share /mnt/share/nmshare cifs username=USER,password=PASS,uid=1000,gid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0

Unfortunately, this does not help resolve the issue. A bit lost, so any suggestions are appreciated.

That's all I got.
There are issues with automount,cifs,using fstab, etc popping up over the last years that suggest the ways and means are a moving target.
