As discussed in this thread https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2014-June/182107.html recent mount.cifs does not allow mounting of OS/2 shares, when the share name has not been specified in uppercase. After the first failing mount attempt, mount.cifs then converts - host - share name - prefix to uppercase and retries the mount. This worked in former versions - but is failing now. Using "strace" and looking at the source of mount.cifs.c rc = mount(orig_dev, ".", cifs_fstype, parsed_info->flags, options); i noticed that the passed "orig_dev" parameter (e.g. //server/share) was not converted to uppercase. I also converted orig_dev to uppercase and it was working again: diff --git a/mount.cifs.c b/mount.cifs.c index 497665d..3535096 100644 --- a/mount.cifs.c +++ b/mount.cifs.c @@ -2097,7 +2097,8 @@ mount_retry: if (!already_uppercased && uppercase_string(parsed_info->host) && uppercase_string(parsed_info->share) && - uppercase_string(parsed_info->prefix)) { + uppercase_string(parsed_info->prefix) && + uppercase_string(orig_dev)) { fprintf(stderr, "Retrying with upper case share name\n"); already_uppercased = 1; I'm not a mount expert and only had a short look at the source, but probably this is the culprit. Should i open a bug report for this?
