Public bug reported: Consider the following /etc/fstab entry:
//10.0.0.1/xor /home/xor/Server cifs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noauto,user,async,sec=ntlmv2i,soft,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/home/xor/Passwords/.samba_credentials 0 0 Mounting it as root works. Trying to mount it as the "xor" user fails with: mount error(22): Invalid argument "dmesg" shows the reason: [82643.575393] CIFS: Unknown mount option "async" Notice that I was trying to manually add the mount options behind the symbolic option "defaults", async is one of them. The same bug applies to the "defaults" mount option, and I was trying to do a workaround by manually adding the options behind default. Here is the entry for "defaults": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1090760 Using Kubuntu12.10 amd64. cifs-utils package Version: 2:5.5-1ubuntu1 ** Affects: cifs-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1090764 Title: CIFS: Unknown mount option "async" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1090764/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
