I'm mounting directories. I wrote the needed lines to /etc/fstab.I'm using cifs protocoll.



I wonder what the parameters uid and gid do, since they're similar for any user. (So this can't be any user id.)

          Mount options for Microsoft (and similar) file systems to set the owner and group



          From man mount,



          Mount options for fat
          (Note: fat is not a separate filesystem, but a common part of the
          msdos, umsdos and vfat filesystems.)

          ...

          uid=value and gid=value
          Set the owner and group of all files. (Default: the uid and
          gid of the current process.)


          There is a similar text for ntfs. See the following link for examples, where uid is used,
