I just tested your kernel from post in #12 using virtual machine in virtual box so I could take snapshots before and after. With your kernel my cifs mount in /etc/fstab works fine. Without your kernel i get the same failure as above with this message:
CIFS VFS: Error connecting to socket. Aborting operation. CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5 Also did touch,write,read and delete test on new file in the mounted (remote) cifs directory. Works great! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372482 Title: mount.cifs does not work with the 3.13.0.36-generic kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1372482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
