mount error(5): Input/output error

Question

first of all I’d like to note that the issue in question wasn’t one till my latest kernel update. Before I could mount every network share easily and quickly with a mount -a command.

I use only LTS kernels with my Manjaro Mate Distribution and it was my first attempt to upgrade it to a new kernel (4.9 to 4.14 LTS).

Can’t complain actually the update seems to be a success except for this mount error(5): Input/output error on my local network (that was working prior to this).

Since I’m not sure if this is KERNEL related (due to the update) or a CIFS or a SAMBA or a MOUNT or a FSTAB issue i’m posting here to get some community feedback.

my fstab line looks like this:

#Network Shares
//192.168.1.125/appdata /home/user/network/appdata cifs credentials=/home/user/.smbcredentials, uid=user 0 0

Hope I Can get some light on this…

Thanks in advance;

John

Solution

I did a little digging in the internet and found a change in some samba/windows/cifs on this new kernel. Didn't understood all correctly but the tip works.

For anyone with the problem add vers=1.0 in their fstab line. That did the trick for me!
