[SOLVED] CIFS mount problem

[agent_kith]

As I am new here first I wish a lot of joy to all Snakeoil music lovers.
But, I have a problem with mounting shared drives which reside on Win 7 computer.
I have another box with Volumio where I need to enter vers=2.1 to be able to access the shared folders. In Snakeoil when I enter vers parameter either from GUI or when I try to mount shared folders from the terminal response is 'mount error(22).Invalid argument'.
Even I got the error, folder is created in /media/music but is empty. Shared folders are password protected.
If I try to connect without username/password when clicking on Save button, nothing happens but in the terminal is displayed the message:

Password entry required for 'Password for root@//192.168.1.25/Muzika:' (PID 4069).
Please enter a password with the systemd-tty-ask-password-agent tool!

If I try vers=1.0 there is no complaint about the invalid argument but share failed with error 'mount error(121): Remote I/O error'.

Is there any way to enable vers=2.1?

I hit this issue recently as well - when FreeNAS deprecate SMBv1. For my case I had to reenable v1 in the NAS to get things to work.

Now that you posted about this, I investigated deeper, and founod out the reason why:

The Snakeoil kernel only supports SMBv1!!

SMBv1 as you know is no longer secure and Microsoft and other NAS makers are slowly phasing this out. I'd rebuild a new kernel with SMBv2/v3 support. You will find this in the kernels section soon. You Windows share would work once you upgrade to this kernel.

There must be a reason why I chose to use SMBv1 only - This has to be AQ related. But AFAICT, I didn't document this, so could also be an oversight. We'd see.
