It did not work for me as a mount parameter. To recap:
1) When both the client and server were Ubuntu 8.04 the boot-time CIFS mounts on the client "just worked". See my post above for fstab entries. 2) Upgraded client to 8.10, boot-time CIFS mounts stopped working, although can still get to the shares using the Places|Connect to Server... menu. Not as convenient and not as accessible by scripts however. 3) Upgraded server to 8.10 as well, boot-time CIFS mounts still don't work, even with the nodfs and nounix mount options. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
