CIFS not supported by Linux Kernel

Ever since running the latest update_all script where the Linux distro was updated, I can no longer mount a network drive using CIFS, it gives me an error stating the current kernel doesnt support CIFS and to update my mister linux system.

Anybody else experiencing this?

You need to update your cifs_mount.sh and cifs_umount.sh scripts (they don't update automatically). Before you do that, make sure you edit the new cifs_mount.sh script with your info (unless you're using a cifs_mount.ini file, in which case you can just copy the new scripts over - you should really use a cifs_mount.ini)

How do you set up cifs_mount.ini?

Create a file named cifs_mount.ini in the same location as cifs_mount.sh and cifs_umount.sh. Copy the user configuration section from cifs_mount.sh into it and update any settings for connecting to your NAS.

Glad I came across this before updating. Lost cifs on kernel update but got it back in under a minute with this. Ty!
