RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Internal Links: 1653211

Description Vijay Avuthu 2018-11-23 07:43:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

When we mount the CIFS protocol without mentioning version, it autonegotiated to the highest supported version of SMB2/3 but when we check the from "mount" command it still shows the default version ( which is version 1.0 from man page )

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL7.6

# rpm -qa | grep -i kernel
kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
kernel-headers-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
kernel-tools-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
# 

How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. mount the gluster volume with CIFS protocol

# mount -t cifs -o username=root,password=foobar \\\\<IP of Gluster>\\gluster-testvol_replicated /mnt/testvol_replicated_cifs

2. check the version 

# mount | grep -i cifs
\\<IP of Gluster>\gluster-testvol_replicated on /mnt/testvol_replicated_cifs type cifs (rw,relatime,vers=default,cache=strict,username=root,domain=,uid=0,noforceuid,gid=0,noforcegid,addr=<IP of Gluster>,file_mode=0755,dir_mode=0755,soft,nounix,serverino,mapposix,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,echo_interval=60,actimeo=1)
# 

3. In above o/p, vers=default which is misleading the user. It should show the correct version

Actual results:

vers=default which is misleading the user


Expected results:

vers=default which is misleading the user. It should show the correct version

Yes, we can. I will re-open it. But I think it's clearer that file a new bug about the description for "vers" in man mount.cifs(8). Such as "The default since v4.13.5 is for the client and server to negotiate the highest possible version greater than or equal to 2.1. In kernels prior to v4.13, the default was 1.0. For kernels between v4.13 and v4.13.5 the default is 3.0.".

Thanks.
