Description:
Mounting a CIFS share via mount.cifs with the 'guest' option does not work in Linux kernel v4.6.3: # mount -o guest //{cifs_share} {mount-point} The command fails with: mount error(22): Invalid argument The 'invalid argument' appears to be 'guest' Omitting the '-o guest' portion causes the command to succeed but it prompts for a password. Previously, under kernel v4.5.4, the above command would succeed and not prompt for a password. Additional info: cifs-utils 6.5 linux 4.6.3 Steps to reproduce: Attempt to mount a CIFS share using the 'guest' option as documented in mount.cifs(8): # mount.cifs -o guest //{cifs_share} {mount-point} |
