Cannot access Buffalo RAID server

EditDate	2023/08/13

Related Threads: Problem

Upgraded to Ubuntu 23.04 and can no longer access Buffalo RAID Server via cifs. Buffalo NAS server requires vers=1.0 and I suspect sec=ntlm which is no longer supported.

smbclient on upgraded system can access drive and all other systems on my net which are lower level 22.04 are accessing drive.

Trying to circumvent. smbclient can access server and I can get to it on all the machines I've not upgraded.

To circumvent changed backup repository to local drive until fix available.

Will not be upgrading other systems until problem resolved here.

Submitted bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/2031246

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cifs-utils/+bug/2031246A fatal error occurred in the #info parser function  

RESOLVED Updated microcode on BuffaloNAS and adding vers=2.0 to fstab allowed me to acces disks. Test mount command:

sudo mount -t cifs --verbose //BuffaloNAS/Music //mnt/sotp -o user=johnny,vers=1.0,uid=1000,sec=ntlm
