Mount error - works with Slackware 14.2, does not work with Slackware -current
by Ook from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BDBJ)
I am upgrading a box from Slackware 14.2 to Slackware-current. In fstab I have this line:
//10.140.131.72/dir /dir cifs user,noauto,rw,username=***,password=***,domain=***,noserverino 0 0
This works with Slackware 14.2, has for a very long time. With Slackware current, I get this:
mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)
dmesg shows:
CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow"
But I'm not using symfollow.
UPDATE: Apparently this is a known bug in utils-linux 2.36.1, fixed in 2.36.2. Slackware-current seems to be using 2.36.1. Is there a way for me to update my install to 2.36.2 without waiting for slackware-current to update?
Background - one of our suppliers is updating their SSH Ciphers to AES, discontinuing SHA*. Slackware 14.2 apparently does not support this, hence the update to slackware-current.
