Title:
  after upgrade to 16.04 network drive not working; had to manually
  install cifs-util to get the drive to work

Status in cifs-utils package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  See: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/284714

  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:
