MS SOFS compatibility issue

MS SOFS compatibility issue

[Matt]

I’ve been experiencing issues when trying to mount CIFS shares on a Microsoft Scale Out File Server 2016 Cluster from a VMware Photon Linux 1.0 client. If a vers option is not provided, mount.cifs will give the error mount error(13): Permission denied.  I was able to work around them by specifying vers=3.02 as a mount option, but a kernel update eventually broke that and I was forced to use vers=2.0. However since upgrading to Photon 2.0, the mount.cifs version changed from 6.4 to 6.7, and whenever I specify a vers= option, it gives the error mount error(22): Invalid argument. If it is relevant the Photon 1.0 client was running kernel 4.4.96-1 and Photon 2.0 is running kernel 4.9.60-1.
 
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve these issues? Can someone point me in the direction of where I should submit a bug report? Thanks!
