Autopsy with SMB/CIFS (Shares) not working

I installed Autopsy 4.15 on ubuntu. On ubuntu I mounted a samba share like this

mount -t cifs //192.168.2.116/share /share -o username=roott,password=roott,file_mode=0666,dir_mode=0777

Running Autopsy on single-user mode and writing to the share gives me this error:

Strange thing is, mounting the same samba share on Windows and running Autopsy on Windows works (single-user mode). Also writing from that Linux Autopsy instance to local dirs (not shares) works.

Discussion of this issue has been happening at https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/issues/6240. Can this topic be closed here?

I don’t know. Maybe someone here has a solution :slight_smile:
