Description Anisse Astier 2012-10-24 09:55:02 UTC 
I used to be able to mount cifs shares. This stopped working with kernel 3.4. What I thought at first was an already reported regression due to the rewrite for option parsing, was in fact a different problem.

With cifs-utils installed, it works. It wasn't necessary before. 

mount options in fstab:
//192.168.0.42/Public /home/anisse/cifs-share/ cifs sec=none,uid=anisse,iocharset=utf8 0 0

Distribution is Debian squeeze.

Probably this is the same issue as reported in #50631.

Please close this bug as duplicate as the other bug report contains more info. Thanks!
