the mount, cache the new file's uid and gid locally which means
that the uid for the file can change when the inode is

user_xattr Allow getting and setting user xattrs as OS/2 EAs (extended
attributes) to the server (default) e.g. via setfattr
and getfattr utilities.
- nouser_xattr Do not allow getfattr/setfattr to get/set xattrs
+ nouser_xattr Do not allow getfattr/setfattr to get/set/list xattrs
mapchars Translate six of the seven reserved characters (not backslash)
*?<>|:
to the remap range (above 0xF000), which also
nomapchars Do not translate any of these seven characters (default).
nocase Request case insensitive path name matching (case
sensitive is the default if the server suports it).
+ posixpaths If CIFS Unix extensions are supported, attempt to
+ negotiate posix path name support which allows certain

nobrl Do not send byte range lock requests to the server.
This is necessary for certain applications that break
with cifs style mandatory byte range locks (and most
create device files and fifos in a format compatible with

mode also will be emulated using queries of the security
descriptor (ACL).
-sec Security mode. Allowed values are:
+ sign Must use packet signing (helps avoid unwanted data modification
+ by intermediate systems in the route). Note that signing
+ does not work with lanman or plaintext authentication.
+ sec Security mode. Allowed values are:
none attempt to connection as a null user (no name)
krb5 Use Kerberos version 5 authentication
krb5i Use Kerberos authentication and packet signing
server requires signing also can be the default)
ntlmv2 Use NTLMv2 password hashing
ntlmv2i Use NTLMv2 password hashing with packet signing
+ lanman (if configured in kernel config) use older
+ lanman hash
The mount.cifs mount helper also accepts a few mount options before -o
including:
it. If set to two, cifs packet signing is
required even if the server considers packet
signing optional. (default 1)
+SecurityFlags Flags which control security negotiation and
+ also packet signing. Authentication (may/must)
+ flags (e.g. for NTLM and/or NTLMv2) may be combined with
+ the signing flags. Specifying two different password
+ hashing mechanisms (as "must use") on the other hand
+ does not make much sense. Default flags are
+ 0x07007
+ (NTLM, NTLMv2 and packet signing allowed). Maximum
+ allowable flags if you want to allow mounts to servers
+ using weaker password hashes is 0x37037 (lanman,
+ plaintext, ntlm, ntlmv2, signing allowed):
+
+ may use packet signing 0x00001
+ must use packet signing 0x01001
+ may use NTLM (most common password hash) 0x00002
+ must use NTLM 0x02002
