I've CCd kernel package maintainer Stefan Bader also. I've seen this problem on a customer machine also with current linux- image hwe-18.04 (5.4.0.91) kernels. Directories with nounix mount option are empty.
Previous 5.4.0.89 seems to have issues *with* unix extensions here though, that one wan not able to mount at all if the unix mount option is added. The current bug with "successful" but empty cifs mounts is worse though. ** Package changed: autofs (Ubuntu) => linux-meta (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903602 Title: CIFS automount with "nounix" option create empty directories Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi, I'm trying to mount two CIFS shares from my Verbatim NAS. Because of permission problem, I need to use the "nounix" option when I mount them. If I do that with the command: sudo mount.cifs //X.X.X.X/media /mnt/media/ -o credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,nounix everything works well. If I write the same command in my auto.home file: media -fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,nounix ://192.168.1.253/media I get a "media" directory empty. Can you help me?
