Description of problem: The following error messages shows up in journald while the mount operation succeeded: "Mai 20 20:42:29 t14s mount.cifs[11933]: libcap-ng used by "/usr/sbin/mount.cifs" failed due to not having CAP_SETPCAP in capng_apply" The error shows up several times. Probably each time I access some cifs share. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ~~~ $ rpm -q cifs-utils libcap-ng cifs-utils-6.11-3.fc34.x86_64 libcap-ng-0.8.2-4.fc34.x86_64 ~~~ How reproducible: It seems to appear every time I access some cifs share. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Access cifs share 2. sudo journalctl -p err Actual results: "libcap-ng used by "/usr/sbin/mount.cifs" failed due to not having CAP_SETPCAP in capng_apply" Expected results: Since the operation succeeds IMHO there should no error be reported.

I was having the same issue. After doing some research it seems that this issue was addressed in cifs-utils 6.12 by commit e406fb1 [1]. Upgrading cifs-utils by uninstalling 6.11 and then building directly from source [2][3] fixed the issue for me. See also [4] for discussion on libcap-ng's GitHub.

Here here. Same problem. And I confirm that the fix upstream works for me too.

I've build and installed `cifs-utils` using the following procedure: 1. $ sudo dnf install autoconf automake 2. $ git clone https://github.com/piastry/cifs-utils.git 3. $ cd cifs-utils/ 4. $ autoreconf -i 5. $ ./configure 6. $ make 7. $ sudo dnf remove cifs-utils 8. $ sudo make install --> Issue fixed. It would be awesome when the fix could be backported or the fedora package could be rebased.
I'll check with upstream next week for a new release as there is one more patch needed to offset the issues caused by the 6.12 release fixes.

Hello @abokovoy, Did you have the chance to check with upstream yet? Are you provide information on how or when this might get fixed? Best regards, Joerg
Hi Joerg, yes, I've got response from the upstream maintainer. Due to some personal life changes, he hadn't have time to work on it yet. However, there is a chance to have a new release in couple weeks, hopefully.
Just confirming this issue still exists in cifs-utils-6.11-4.fc35.x86_64. My situation is a little different, the error is the same but the mount fails. So I can't mount a CIFS share at all. :( Log message: Sep 12 17:23:25 sg9 mount.cifs[64519]: libcap-ng used by "/usr/sbin/mount.cifs" failed due to not having CAP_SETPCAP in capng_apply Sep 12 17:23:25 sg9 kernel: CIFS: VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
I upgraded the package to 6.13 because there was a CVE fixed in that release. I was looking at this to do a private upgrade to get an enhancement, but with the CVE I thought it was reasonable to do a real upgrade in Fedora. There are builds for f3, f34, f35 and rawhide available in koji. They will be in testing and rawhide as new composes get done. I'll leave this bug open for a bit for feedback.
I have updated cifs-utils to 6.14 in F36-Rawhide. Since we have had no feedback for past four months I am closing this bug.
