[Bug 1905510] Re: utils-linux 2.36.1 breaks user mounts (cifs)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.36.1-1ubuntu2

---------------
util-linux (2.36.1-1ubuntu2) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Unbreak mount.cifs user mount (LP: #1905510)
    - d/p/libmount-don-t-use-symfollow-for-helpers-on-user-mounts.patch:
      Backport from upstream patch to fix user mounts on mount.cifs,
      because the "symfollow" option became unknown.

util-linux (2.36.1-1ubuntu1) hirsute; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Build hwclock with audit support.
    - Drop debian/hwclock.rules and debian/util-linux.hwclock.default, recent
      kernels sync the RTC automatically.
    - Add sulogin-fallback-static-sh.patch: Add support for /bin/static-sh as
      fallback if the regular shell fails to execute. Patch ported from
      sysvinit. (see LP #505887)
    - Add sulogin-lockedpwd.patch: Make sure file systems can be fixed on
      machines with locked root accounts (as Ubuntu does by default). Don't
      require --force for sulogin.
    - Clean up weekly fstrim cron file, now a systemd timer unit.

util-linux (2.36.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream stable release
  * Remove upstream applied patches

util-linux (2.36-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Holger Wansing ]
  * Re-add Tajik debconf translation file (somehow lost from eject package).
    Taken from bug #890079.
  * Update Norwegian Bokmål debconf translation according to last state in
    eject package (taken from bug #923919).

  [ Slimane Selyan Amiri ]
  * Add Kabyle translation for eject (via Hoger Wansing)

  [ Chris Hofstaedtler ]
  * flock: keep -E exit status more restrictive (Closes: #973751)

Title:
  utils-linux 2.36.1 breaks user mounts (cifs)

Status in Util-Linux-ng:
  Fix Released
Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in util-linux package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I'm working on merging samba from Debian (2:4.13.2+dfsg-1), and while
  running the autopkgtests for the package I noticed that two tests are
  failing.  These tests attempt to invoke mount.cifs in order to mount a
  user mount point.  I investigated and found this on dmesg:

  [   53.586709] CIFS: Attempting to mount //localhost/myshare1760
  [   53.586735] CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow"

  After some more investigation, I noticed that there are both a Debian
  and an upstream bug reported about this failure, and that upstream has
  fixed it in util-linux 2.36.2.

  I would be nice to have this version in hirsute so that cifs user
  mounts can work again.
