[Bug 903602] Re: CIFS automount with "nounix" option create empty directories

[Björn Jacke]

I've CCd kernel package maintainer Stefan Bader also.

I've seen this problem on a customer machine also with current linux-
image hwe-18.04 (5.4.0.91) kernels. Directories with nounix mount option
are empty.

Previous 5.4.0.89 seems to have issues *with* unix extensions here
though, that one wan not able to mount at all if the unix mount option
is added.

The current bug with "successful" but empty cifs mounts is worse though.

  CIFS automount with "nounix" option create empty directories

Status in linux-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I'm trying to mount two CIFS shares from my Verbatim NAS. 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?

  Ubuntu Maverick 10.10
  Linux 2.6.35-31-generic
