Mounting a samba share (from linux samba server) is not possible from shell on fresh kubuntu 19.04 installation



root@client:~# mount -t cifs -o user=myuser //myserver/myshare /home/user/myserver/myshare/

Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)


But the share, mountpoint and user (credentials) exist and are correct:



smbclient -L myserver -U mygroup\myuser

          This is just a guess because I don't remember what the default settings were on Samba 3.6 but I think CIFS is trying to mount with an smb dialect that that version of samba didn't have yet.



          Add the parameter vers=1.0 or maybe vers=2.0 to your list and see if you can connect:



          mount -t cifs -o user=myuser,vers=1.0 //myserver/myshare /home/user/myserver/myshare/


          EDIT: You may have to drop down the security level as well with another parameter: sec=ntlm

            Perfect! The "vers=1.0" did it! Fun fact: I recently had to specify version 3.0 to mount a windows server 2019 share from linux... anyway, that error message is a real cheek!
