Public bug reported: I'm working on merging samba from Debian (2:4.13.2+dfsg-1), and while running the autopkgtests for the package I noticed that two tests are failing. These tests attempt to invoke mount.cifs in order to mount a user mount point. I investigated and found this on dmesg:
[ 53.586709] CIFS: Attempting to mount //localhost/myshare1760 [ 53.586735] CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow" After some more investigation, I noticed that there are both a Debian and an upstream bug reported about this failure, and that upstream has fixed it in util-linux 2.36.2. I would be nice to have this version in hirsute so that cifs user mounts can work again. ** Affects: util-linux-ng Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: util-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: util-linux (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues #1193 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/1193 ** Also affects: util-linux-ng via https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/1193 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #975003 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=975003 ** Also affects: util-linux (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=975003 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to util-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905510 Title: utils-linux 2.36.1 breaks user mounts (cifs) Status in Util-Linux-ng: Unknown Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu: New Status in util-linux package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: I'm working on merging samba from Debian (2:4.13.2+dfsg-1), and while running the autopkgtests for the package I noticed that two tests are failing.
