That did it for me on Xenial. root@client:~# uname -a Linux client 4.4.0-98-generic #121~lp1729337 SMP Thu Nov 2 20:53:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Makes no difference to me, and it works, just FYI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729337 Title: CIFS errors on 4.4.0-98, but not on 4.4.0-97 with same config Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Zesty: In Progress Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Bug description: We have a cluster of servers that applied a security update overnight and were unable to mount CIFS shares after upgrading to 4.4.0-98. The same machines on 4.4.0-97 were fine the night before, and are fine after downgrading. The only error message CIFS would report, even on verbose, was: [ 257.089876] CIFS VFS: validate protocol negotiate failed: -11 [ 257.089964] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -5 Rebooting did not help. Nor did attempting to mount the share manually using mount -t cifs.
