This still remains a problem with Debian 7.2. I have just upgraded a Debian 6 server to 7.2 and have noticed this issue.
This guy appears to have an understand of the problem, but there was no solution: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2011/08/msg00424.html (Debian Bug#637560) My system is: - Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux - mount.cifs version: 5.5 Example issue:- sudo mount -v -t cifs "//server/share/subdir" /mnt/myshare --verbose -o "user=me" mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.X.X,unc=\\server\share,user=me,prefixpath=subdir,pass=******** mount error(2): No such file or directory Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #637560 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637560 ** Also affects: cifs-utils (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637560 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799300 Title: Cannot mount with 3.0 kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/799300/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
