Hello,

I am using Coreos version (1520.5.0) and I have an use case to mount cifs type from an Azure file storage. However I don't see any executable ( mount.cifs) nor mount -f cifs works

Below error when I use "mount -f cifs"
--------------------------------
cbu-dev-k8s-node2 core # mount -t cifs //veereshsa.file.core.windows.net/myfirstazurefileshare /tmp/mount1 -o vers=3.0,username=veereshsa,password=UDrhRlxgWG5PkRu446ueBz4pl9mkOWj/TWPb5xIc+XyBNck3SYZY5gaIc8uhsEU7z3ipxD/9aE4JR/N+Ujb7SQ==,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777,sec=ntlmssp
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //veereshsa.file.core.windows.net/myfirstazurefileshare,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       (for several filesystems (e.g. nfs, cifs) you might
       need a /sbin/mount.<type> helper program)

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.
--------------------------------

I have tried few online solutions of using a fedora docker version to copy the mount.cifs executable, but seems it all does not work in latest coreos versions

Thanks,

We have a tracking bug [1] open for this issue. It looks like the team
hasn't had a chance to look into this yet.
