Description Guenter Kukkukk 2014-07-01 14:43:24 UTC
since (kernel module) commit:
http://git.samba.org/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=73a999fab313053ceebffa9293fadf5a306a58e8

the unc, target and prefixpath mount options are no longer used.

In mount.cifs.c, when getting errno=ENXIO, the mount is retried by uppercasing
hostname, sharename and prefixpath in the "unc=..." mount option, which
is ignored now in the kernel.
This leads to a permanent failure e.g. during mounting an OS/2 share, see thread
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2014-June/182107.html

Fix this by also uppercasing the now used "orig_dev":

Well spotted. Looks like a straightforward fix. Guenter, do you mind sending the patch to me via email and cc'ing the mailing list with a proper signed-off-by line, etc? I'll plan to merge it in a few days, assuming that no one objects.

This is in cifs-utils (version 6.4 and later). Should be fixed now
