[NTLUG:Discuss] Mountng shares in Ubuntu 14.04.3

[Michael Barnes]

I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 10.3 LTS to 14.04 LTS.  I copied over my
fstab file to mount network shares.  Our network servers are Microsoft AD
servers.  Most of the shares mounted just fine.  However, my most important
share, MyDocuments, keeps giving me a permission denied error.  Here are
some lines from my fstab.

<code>
//DAL-S-ADC-12/SRN_Market/Engineering   /home/mbarnes/Engineering
cifs rw,auto,users,credentials=/home/mbarnes/.me,uid=mbarnes,gid=users  0 0

//10.33.8.18/SRN_MyDocuments/michael.barnes/My\040Documents
/home/mbarnes/MyDocuments  cifs
rw,auto,users,credentials=/home/mbarnes/.me,uid=mbarnes,gid=users,sec=ntlm
0 0
</code>

The first line mounts just fine on boot.  I can sudo mount and umount with
no problem.  The second line returns "mount error(13): Permission denied."
I've searched the Internet for two days trying to find an answer with no
luck.  I found several references that 14.04 uses the 3.8.x kernel,
therefore needs the "sec=ntlm" option, but it doesn't seem to make a
difference.  This worked flawlessly on the old system.  I put a new hard
drive in and installed 14.04 from scratch, then copied the files I needed
over.  I can still boot into the old system and the shares all mount
normally.

Any ideas on things that may have changed between versions of Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Michael
