Bug Description
when mounting a cifs share by the command line
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.
the cifs unix extensions are disabled by default. The mount option `unix` or `posix` is refused.
The command `mount` shows:
`//192.
Therefore the option `nounix` has been set by default, not according to `man mount.cifs`.

AFAIU, the work on SMBv3 UNIX extensions on Samba is ongoing:
https:/ /wiki.samba. org/index. php/SMB3- Linux
So, while cifs-utils tries to use "unix" when mounting the share, Samba still doesn't support it, and therefore mount.cifs falls back to nounix.
This is not necessarily a bug; it's just something that is still being developed and will ship in future versions of Samba.
I am moving this bug to the samba package.
