CIFS Support in kernel

[Erwin Schliske]

Hello,

for a customer I need to mount a windows share in ubuntu.

Attempting to mount the share with

sudo mount <share> <mountpoint> -t cifs  -o
user,iocharset=iso8859-15,username=<username>,codepage=850,noauto,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755

fails.

In other linux distributions it works.

In the kernelconfig I found that CIFS statistics and CIFS extended
attributes are disabled.

Is it possible to enable it by default for the next release of ubuntu.
When not, why?

Thank you.
