Comment 6 for bug 1854887

Verification for eoan, via the Bionic 5.3 HWE kernel. The customer installed 5.3.0-40-generic #32~18.04.1-Ubuntu to their bionic machine, and mounted their multi-tier cifs share:

The cifs share mounted successfully, and the user was able to access files in the share. I'm happy to mark this as verified.
