[Samba] client mount options for both Mac OS X and old Samba 3.5.2 servers
I'm trying to configure a Linux autofs script to mount our various SMB shares, but different servers seem to require different, incompatible options. So I wonder if I'm just not using the right combination of options, or if there is a way in my autofs script to detect what will be needed for that particular smb server. The servers are: - Windows 7, Windows 10 - Debian 8, 9, Ubuntu 16.04 (smbd 4.2.14, 4.5.12, 4.3.11) - Qnap (Samba 3.5.2 with "client NTLMv2 auth = Yes" and "unix extensions = No") - MacOS Sierra 10.12 Windows and Mac clients can access all the shares on the network. But: - to mount Mac shares on Linux, I need the option "vers=2.1" - to mount the Qnap (smbd 3.5.2) shares, I need "vers=1.0" Are there any mount.cifs options which would first try vers=2.1, and fallback to vers=1.0 if needed? Or any reliable way to determine in a script what will be needed for a particular smb server, before calling "mount -t cifs ..." ? Thanks, Mi
