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!
