#309 Dialog setting up Samba partition clone fails after passing "vers=2.1"
version: clonezilla-live-2.5.6-22-i686.zip
As an infrequent user, I booted from a USB key and started the Clonezilla-live dialogue. I selected Samba transfer as I always did in the past and I ended up with a failure here,
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.101/myshare/mypath /home/partimag -o user="me",vers=2.1
mount error (2): no such file or directory. Check the man page.
The menus force the user to select one from the following Samba protocols: 1, 2, 2.1 or 3. There is no way to opt out.
Then I opened a prompt terminal and I checked with "mount.cifs --help" and when it comes to '-o', "vers=" is not listed as an option.
mount.cifs --version ==>> 6.8
It looks like the version of "mount" embedded with Clonezilla apparently can't handle that option and the mount fails.
I ended up doing the mount manually just by removing the 'vers=' part of the mount command as follows
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.101/myshare/mypath /home/partimag -o user="me"
The options are (1) to get rid of the menu that asks for the Samba protocol and (2) to use another version of mount in Clonezilla that recognize the 'vers=' option.
mount.cifs version 6.8 definitely supports the option "vers". Are you sure the version for your CIFS server is 2.1? Did you try 1, 2 or 3.0?
Yes, in the future we should have an option for people to opt ut.
