When trying to mount an older SMB host share, the errors cifs produces
are very cryptic. Such as
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -112
Or
mount: mount //192.168.1.123/path/ on /mnt/path failed: Host is down
I reported this issue as a regression at first.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196599
Thinking that cifs was just plain broken in this kernel as gvfs mounted
the same share just fine.
Can this protocol mismatch scenario have it's own, more informative
error message?
As this will likely effect more people when this change reaches the bulk
of users.
