/* No dialect specified on mount */
The following lines were added (+) and removed (-):
We can use a more simplified format that avoids certain parameters being incompatible with the kernel's preferred SMB version. //apollo/home /mnt/nicolep cifs defaults,domain=workgroup,username=nicolep,password=mythtv,uid=1002Note that we specified the uid of the user, which is the uid in /etc/passwd.  Without specification of the uid the file system will seem "read only" to the user as owner and group on the mount point will be root when the uid is not specified.Another note: we put the username and password in fstab in an insecure way.  An evolution offering slightly better security is available using a so-called credentials file.
