I did get a dmesg message when I tried it on 5.11.0-rc5. Here's my setup: In /etc/fstab: //10.42.84.1/shared /external cifs noauto,user,rw,guest,uid=1000,gid=1000,vers=1.0 0 0 When I /mount external (with cifs-utils 6.11 installed, should that matter), I get this in dmesg: Jan 26 21:11:17 nosecam kernel: cifs: Unknown parameter 'noauto' And the mount fails.
