I am seeing this ioctl error on my console screen (before login). It fills the screen because I have a crontab job running that mounts an SMB share temporarily.
However, I can still create/modify/delete files on the SMB share. I do not know which kernel version this started to show up on but this server has been running since the initial release of 18.04 and it updates itself regularly and I just noticed it. The server it is connecting to is a Windows 2008 R2 Server.

Shares mounted this way are readable, but writing data to them (or using programs such as EasyTAG to write to them) ultimately fails. This bug did not occur in kernel 4.10. Mounting the share(s) with vers=1.0 does not give the error, but this is a haphazard fix as SMB v3.0 carries many security features with it not avaliable in SMB 1.0. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=/dev/mapper/DeusVitam--vg-swap_1 JournalErrors: Error: command ['journalctl', '-b', '--priority=warning', '--lines=1000'] failed with exit code 1: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
