Comment 69 for bug 286828

After adding "nodfs" to my kernel at boot time did NOT change anything.
My MS Windows shares that use to mount automatically under 8.04 still do
not mount automatically after adding that option. Yet, after boot, I can
issue "sudo mount /shares/windows_f" and the share is mounted without
incident or error messages.

I performed an upgrade from 8.04, not a new, clean install.

Relevant line from syslog:
Dec 23 06:27:43 tom-nb kernel: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line:
root=UUID=9810c849-9967-45c4-9a82-415e2ddcb81c ro quiet splash nodfs

Output from uname -a:
Linux tom-nb 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux

Relevant lines from fstab:
//192.168.4.10/NetworkShare /shares/windows_f cifs

//192.168.4.10/NetworkShare2 /shares/windows_o cifs
