I have an Ubuntu 18.04 server that I upgraded to 20.04 over the weekend (via do-release-upgrade
).
This server has a permanent mount to a Windows server (I think it's Windows Server 2012, because it has that Windows 8-like interface).
Here's the /etc/fstab
(The important line is third from the bottom, mounting //192.168.0.248/ArtDept/ArtDept/JOBS
to /mnt/jobs_main
):
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.## Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).## <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>/dev/mapper/SkyUbuntu--vg-root / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1# /boot was on /dev/sda1 during installationUUID=ef598c51-5b66-4749-a7be-da5c59ac852e /boot ext2 defaults 0 2/dev/mapper/SkyUbuntu--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0//192.168.0.248/ArtDept/ArtDept/JOBS /mnt/jobs_main cifs credentials=/home/sturm/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0#//192.168.0.248/Jobs_Archive /mnt/jobs_archive_01 cifs credentials=/home/sturm/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0#//192.168.0.248/Archive2/Jobs_Archive /mnt/jobs_archive_02 cifs credentials=/home/sturm/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8 0 0
In the /home/sturm/.smbcredentials
file:
username=<not>password=<gonna>domain=<show>
Before the upgrade, a mission-critical web app that runs on this server (Laravel-based, in a Docker container) displays a thumbnail .JPG that links to a .PDF, if those files exist. Otherwise, it just displays text without linking:
Unfortunately, after the upgrade, the thumbnails and links are broken:
Now, you may notice that the links are still there and the popup still appears. This is because the code that tests the existence of the files is still seeing that the files exist. In fact, just navigating in the OS to the mounts works fine. I can list the directories on the mounts with no problem at all. So the mounts are still working, but only to a degree. That degree being showing the .JPG files and linking to .PDF files in the web app.
I've tried various additions to the /etc/fstab
file, such as adding vers=3.0
, sec=ntlm
, noperm
, etc. Each time, running sudo umount -a
followed by sudo mount -a
. Nothing seems to have any effect.
I don't know what has changed with the CIFS mounting system between 18.04 and 20.04, but we really need this to work again. Any ideas?
