The kernel doesn't support cifs filetype in 24.04

[Bartłomiej]

I downloaded cloud-init image from this site
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/noble/

But the version 24.04 doesn't support cifs

```
$ sudo mount -t cifs //truenas.home/Git /media/Git
Password for root@//truenas.home/Git:
mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system
mount error(19): No such device
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)
mount: (hint) your fstab has been modified, but systemd still uses
       the old version; use 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload.

```
I don't have kernel cifs

```
 $ find /lib/modules/ -name cifs.ko
returns nothing
```

```
uname -r
6.8.0-31-generic
```

What should I do to use and mount the smb share
I already installed cifs-utils, smbclient and rebooted my Machine

I've run the same commands on my 23.04 VM, and it seems like I don't have there the newest kernel

```
find /lib/modules/ -name cifs
/lib/modules/6.2.0-26-generic/kernel/fs/cifs
/lib/modules/6.2.0-25-generic/kernel/fs/cifs
```

```
swarm@swarm-lite:~$ uname -r
6.2.0-39-generic
```

And because of that cifs mounting works

Check if you have the linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-31-generic package installed, or the one for your kernel version.

sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)-generic

That's there the cifs.ko module is.
