I upgraded from Xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04, because I would like to
attribute to the testing.

After the upgrade my network drive does not mount.

fstab
//192.168.178.73/Thuis /media/Thuis cifs noserverino,guest,user=,nounix,_netdev,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 0 0

This worked until the upgrade.

When trying to mount I get:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //192.168.178.73/Thuis,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.

And if I do dmesg | tail, it gives:

[   21.141585] cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock, will be ignored
[   24.103109] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready

[  327.314333] CIFS VFS: No username specified
[  349.637971] CIFS VFS: No username specified

does any one know if I have to change the fstab after upgrading to
16.04?

Please also note that, in my case, the upgrade to 16.04 did not go
smoothly:
