Just for reference if anyone has a minute (cough): File cifs-utils.spec of Package cifs-utils - openSUSE Build Service
I was able to get this to build and install - https://github.com/Distrotech/cifs-utils - but not sure what to do with it… I’m not familiar with Samba
The one for the link you posted asks for many more deps, and even after I installed libassuan says can’t find…
I’lk poke around a bit more.
Right you are. Distros often overcomplicate things. Like I do … thanks for the tip.
I have a number of old samba servers in the house (one is just on the router). fstab:
\\192.168.178.20/share /home/mwa/smb/share cifs rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,username=mwa,password=blah,_netdev,vers=1.0 0 0
Those servers also have sftp but are so old that the key material on sfos doesn’t like it … thanks for the tip!
the .o files are from an aarch64 build?
Yes. Once the build was done, I just pushed it as-is… (XZ2c 4.4 aarch64)

Tried it on 10III - still the same errors from when I first wrote here

I tried numerous variants. with ,_netdev,vers=1.0 0 0, I get
/usr/local/bin/mount.cifs: line 4: syntax error: unterminated quoted string
Also tried extra careful quoting. hmmm.
Hmmm. That error is typical of mount trying to mount a block device. I had been sure to modprobe and lsmod shows cifs but …
If you’re on 10III, then cifs is in the kernel
That was on a volla. haven’t tried the 10 ii yet. But I think I’ll have to look at the build files…
[defaultuser@VollaPhone ~]$ devel-su lsmod

can somebody raise the question on next meeting?
Has anybody gotten this to work yet? This is still one of the things I miss the most since switching to SFOS.
What works for me on both the 10 III and XA2 Ultra with 4.5.0.19 for access to memory card in an old TPLink router’s USB port (which only supports SMB v1.0 protocol) is
devel-su mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=password,vers=1.0 '//192.168.1.1/Memory_Card(sda1)' /media/router

I, too, can confirm that now I have it working with vers=3 in my case!
I’m glad that it works for you too 
Does not work for me unfortunately on the regular XA2 
I also tried installing that really old cifs-utils package but now I keep getting permission denied
Please note that the '//192.168.1.1/Memory_Card(sda1)' part is my individual path (and the way that the (sda1) part is added to it is unique to TPLink routers exposing the media connected to their USB port this way by adding it to their name). You need to substitute it with your own IP and path of the resource you’re trying to mount.
Edit: Oh, and obviously also the /media/router path is my custom one. By default there is no router folder in /media, so either create it or change this path to some folder that exists on your device.

Yes I understand. I’m trying to mount my own server (that also supports SMB v1.0) to the path media/TrueNAS that I created. With devel-su mount -t cifs -o username=redacted,password=redacted,vers=1.0 '//192.168.0.129/smb' /media/TrueNAS I get mount: /media/TrueNAS: cannot mount //192.168.0.129/smb read-only.
Does the /media/TrueNAS folder have the right permissions and ownership?
