Public bug reported:
Recently some of my cifs mounts have stopped working. This could have
happened due to an upgrade on the server (over which I do not have any
control) or if there was a package update to cifs-utils.
The issue I am seeing is if I try to mount a subdirectory of the network
share, by appending the path to the unc when mounting, the mount fails
with mount error(22): invalid argument
$mount.cifs -vvv //sol.ita.chalmers.se/groups/mc2-common-photonics -o
credentials=/etc/smbcredentials /mnt/PhotonicsGroup/
domain=NET
mount.cifs kernel mount options:
ip=129.16.226.60,unc=\\sol.ita.chalmers.se\groups,user=jochens,,domain=NET,prefixpath=mc2-common-photonics,pass=********
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
If I specify the prefixpath via an option the mount succeeds.
$mount.cifs -vvv //sol.ita.chalmers.se/groups/ -o
credentials=/etc/smbcredentials,prefixpath=mc2-common-photonics
/mnt/PhotonicsGroup/
domain=NET
mount.cifs kernel mount options:
ip=129.16.226.60,unc=\\sol.ita.chalmers.se\groups,prefixpath=mc2-common-photonics,user=jochens,,domain=NET,pass=********
I don't really see any difference between the mount options, so I don't
understand what's going on. Also smbclient and gvfs can mount the path
without issues.
$ mount.cifs -V
