I have a 48TB EMC NAS, model px12-450r that multiple machines use throughout my home network. From linux, to MacOS, to Windows, etc.
My primary laptop has been running Manjaro for a few months ago and I’m begun to settle on the distro as my primary. I have /etc/fstab entries in order to mount automatically. I have six shares that I mount off of directories based in /mnt. Here is an example of one of my lines from fstab:
\10.x.x.x/bill /mnt/bill cifs auto,user,uid=1000,gid=1000,rw,suid,username=,password= 0 0
All six lines are identical, except for share and mountpoints.
At some point in the last week or so I’ve applied an update that has completely broken my ability to mount cifs shares. Problem is I have no idea what specific update broke things. I’ve searched the internet and have tried multiple potential fixes, but none have worked for me. Here is a list:
vers=x.x on the options line of either the mount command or fstab.
nodfs on the options line of either the mount command or fstab.
Changing min client version, min server version and protocol in /etc/samba/smb.conf
Nothing seems to work. This morning, on a whim, I booted back to 5.4.101-1-MANJARO, which is the last LTS release, but still no go. I’ve verified by mhwd-kernel -li that 5.4.101-1 is what is running.
I’m running samba Version 4.13.4,
Nothing has changed on the EMC in months and everything functions except for my Manjaro machines.
Happy to provide any additional info as required. I’m really surprised that this hasn’t caused more of a ruckus than it has and that the issue hasn’t been pinned down. If the answer is out there, I’ve found nothing in about four days of searching and trying different things.
Thank you in advance.
