Description of problem: After adding a "credentials=..." mount option to a CIFS mount in an automounter map file, the kernel oopses when trying to mount the share. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.1-1.52 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add CIFS share to /etc/auto.auto 2. # mount /auto/dmbr-t Actual results: oops Expected results: CIFS network share mounted on designated automount mountpoint Additional info: 1. autofs mount points : dmbr-t -fstype=cifs,credentials=/root/smb-credentials.dmb,uid=didier,gid=users ://dmbr/t dmbr-u -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/root/smb-credentials.dmb,uid=didier,gid=users ://dmbr/u 2. mounting dmbr-u used to work (before smbfs got depreciated) 3. The file "/root/smb-credentials.dmb" exists and is legitimate for smbfs use.

still a problem with current kernels ? if so, you might get more luck reporting this to the upstream maintainers. The Fedora kernel has no patches against CIFS, so should be exactly the same upstream code.
Thanks, I'll have a look at this with the kernel as supplied in the FC3 final release.
Verified fixed with kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3.
