funny, just saw, that the bug is quite exactly 10years old, which is why it looked like from this month. The problem still looks very similar but it isn't a regression from 5.4.0.89 to 5.4.0.91 at all. The kernel seems to get confused though if you mount a share once with and later withouth unix extensions. In such a situation unmounting *all* cifs shares helped to solve it. But it still looks buggy that area.

Because of permission problem, I need to use the "nounix" option when I mount them. If I do that with the command: sudo mount.cifs //X.X.X.X/media /mnt/media/ -o credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,nounix everything works well. If I write the same command in my auto.home file: media -fstype=cifs,credentials=/etc/samba/credentials,iocharset=utf8,uid=1000,gid=100,dir_mode=0775,file_mode=0775,nounix ://192.168.1.253/media I get a "media" directory empty. Can you help me?
