Taking steps to minimize attack surface against such threats as the wcry ransomware, my organization decided to disable smb version 1. But mounting cifs shares with the option ver=2.1 is not working in Mageia. Fails with message "CIFS VFS: Unknown vers= option specified: 2.1" I believe because, in kernel config : # CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 is not set I mark this as an enhancement, but I strongly believe this option should be enabled in mageia kernels as smb/cifs protocol v1 is "end of life". Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to mount a cifs share with option vers=2.1 2. see it fails 3. read the journal
