Cifs-utils has updated and now my drives will not mount

It’s an old wd mycloud, formerly:

sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,guest,vers=3.0,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.4.35/steve /media/steve/

worked, now it doesn’t :frowning: Have downgraded and am back working. Any ideas what has changed?

How “doesn’t” it work anymore? What error message are you getting?

I also just had a Cifs-utils update and my external drive connected to the router is mounted. :thinking:

mount: bad usage
Try 'mount --help' for more information.

It seems to be related to the word guest, still reading…

Right:

sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,user=guest,password=,vers=3.0,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.4.35/steve /media/steve/

Seems to work, needs user= and password= - syntax must of changed.
