I'm afraid I have to agree with Andy Rogers here. My experience is in using Ubuntu right since 6.06, and using Ubuntu with a NAS device since 7.04. I learned early that the NOUNIX option was useful, as this allows user/group permissions to be set on the local mount point. But the 'noserverino' option was never, ever needed. I always used the same fstab entry all the way from 7.04 from 9.04. For the record, my fstab had always been : //server/mnt /mnt/mountpoint cifs nounix,user=username,password=password,uid=uid,gid=gid,file_mode=0770,dir_mode=0770 0 0 If this is a kernel bug then I understand Ubuntu may not have direct control over this, but I guess my feedback is that it's a very nasty issue that cropped up by surprise, and it took me several weeks of google and forum searching to find the answer. For a new user, or a less experienced user, this may be a showstopper. I will accept whatever outcome is decided, I thought I'd just post my feedback in support of Andy's comments.
