I am also affected by this problem. The previous comment of Dee is wrong. Passwords can be successfully put into "". When choosing a password like "a, b" mount outputs "mount error(22): Invalid argument". But dmesg reports "CIFS: Unknown mount option " b".
This clearly indicates a software problem. The software tries to seperate arguments by using the comma character. It does not respect complex passwords embedded in "" characters. It is some kind of standard to use complex and possibly "secure" passwords today. This cannot be achieved by using CIFS on Linux. It would be very nice if this could be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069915 Title: unable to mount CIFS share with comma in password To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/1069915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
