I am having the same problem after an upgrade to 8.10. Note that I changed the three entries in fstab to include the nounix option to no avail - here's a sample [specific names and addresses changed to protect the innocent]:
//xyzzy/Sources$ /usr/local/Sources cifs dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.mountpw,rw,ip=10.0.0.162,domain=foo,netbiosname=bar,uid=snafu,gid=samba,nounix 0 0 However, when I use the same settings for a manual mount command, it works: sudo mount -t cifs -o dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0644,iocharset=utf8,credentials=/root/.mountpw,rw,ip=10.0.0.162,domain=foo,netbiosname=bar,uid=snafu,gid=samba,nounix //xyzzy/Sources$ /usr/local/Sources So, that leads me to wonder if it is a timing issue on boot and the mounts in fstab are trying to happen before samba client support is fully initialized?
