[Bug 286828] Re: CIFS share broken after upgrade from 8.04 -> 8.10

[Jim Lehmer]

I am having the same problem after an upgrade to 8.10. Note that I
changed the three entries in fstab to include the nounix option to no
avail - here's a sample [specific names and addresses changed to protect
the innocent]:

//xyzzy/Sources$ /usr/local/Sources cifs
dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.mountpw,rw,ip=10.0.0.162,domain=foo,netbiosname=bar,uid=snafu,gid=samba,nounix
0 0

However, when I use the same settings for a manual mount command, it
works:

sudo mount -t cifs -o
dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.mountpw,rw,ip=10.0.0.162,domain=foo,netbiosname=bar,uid=snafu,gid=samba,nounix
//xyzzy/Sources$ /usr/local/Sources

So, that leads me to wonder if it is a timing issue on boot and the
mounts in fstab are trying to happen before samba client support is
fully initialized?
