I want to edit some files using Visual Studio Code. The files are saved on RaspberyPi, the shared folder of which is mounted in fstab on my Ubuntu 18.04.

Configuration smb.conf on RPi`

 [openHAB-conf]
  comment=openHAB2 site configuration
  path=/etc/openhab2
  writeable=yes
  public=yes
  create mask=0777
  directory mask=0777
  veto files = /Thumbs.db/.DS_Store/._.DS_Store/.apdisk/._*/
  delete veto files = yes

fstab configuration (on Ubuntu) 

fstab:
//192.168.1.130/openHAB-conf /home/t/OH2/etc cifs defaults,username=XXX,password=XXX,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm    0 0

Result of /home/t/OH2/ ls -l : 

drwxrwxrwx  2 t    root    0 kwi 21 13:55 etc

I can't change group owner using chgrp, it doesn't work, but I can change file/folder onwer.

Finally - I may open files on VCode but I can't write any changes. There's always a message (and authorising as a root in a popup window doesn't work neither):

Failed to save 't.items': Insufficient permissions. Select 'Retry as Sudo' to retry as superuser.

If I use sudo code --user-data-dir="/home/t/OH2/etc" there's no any problem. But according to explanantion Why is it bad to log in as root? that it is not advisable.

Any advice?

I think the only problem is that you're missing the "user" option in your fstab file - just add it to the comma-separated list of options you already have.

Is there any reason you have to use Samba for the RasPi share (e.g., maybe you need it for access via Windows)? If not, the simplest solution might be either using sshfs, a command to create a mount over ssh - type this in a command shell:

sshfs 192.168.1.130:/openHAB-conf /home/t/OH2/etc

...or mounting via nfs in your fstab file which looks like this:

192.168.1.130:/openHAB-conf /home/t/OH2/etc nfs noauto,user 0 0
