Looks like it's potentially been fixed upstream: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-cifs/msg14325.html
Can we get this patch backported to Trusty, Xenial, Artful and Bionic? Thanks! -- 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/1748689 Title: Mounting SMB shares with vers=3.0 in fstab gives "ioctl error in smb2_get_dfs_refer rc=-2" Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Xubuntu 17.10 artful Kernel: x86_64 Linux 4.13.0-32.35-generic cifs-utils 2:6.7-1 smbclient 2:4.6.7+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1 Mounting an SMB share with sec=ntlmssp,vers=3.0,credentials=/home/.smbcredentials,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 in /etc/fstab gives the error: "CIFS VFS: ioctl error in smb2_get_dfs_refer rc=-2" in dmesg. Shares mounted this way are readable, but writing data to them (or using programs such as EasyTAG to write to them) ultimately fails. This bug did not occur in kernel 4.10. Mounting the share(s) with vers=1.0 does not give the error, but this is a haphazard fix as SMB v3.0 carries many security features with it not avaliable in SMB 1.0. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=/dev/mapper/DeusVitam--vg-swap_1 JournalErrors: Error: command ['journalctl', '-b', '--priority=warning', '--lines=1000'] failed with exit code 1: Hint: You are currently not seeing messages from other users and the system.
