mount.cifs "Unable to apply new capability set." [-current Fri 20 Nov 2020]
by Gnisho from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5APNK)
Good day all.
After applying updates to 64-current for Friday, 20 Nov 2020, mounting cifs shares from a Win10 machine kept failing with "Unable to apply new capability set" no matter what I did for mount options.
Reverting from libcap-ng-0.8.1 to libcap-ng-0.8 remedied this for me.
Looking at differences in packages I have no real clue why. Anyone else run into this?
