I decided to build latest cifs-utils and it worked like a charm.

(for those who wanna try)
Code:
cd /home/nemo/Downloads
wget ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/linux-cifs/cifs-utils/cifs-utils-6.3.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf cifs-utils-6.3.tar.bz2
cd cifs-utils-6.3
./configure
make
make install
So, mounting samba/cifs now just works fine for example using:
Code:
mount -t cifs //servername/sharename /nemo/mountfolder
But I also need the iocharset=utf8 option to allow access to files with names in non-English languages
but apparently nls_utf8.ko is missing from kernel and all I get is:
Code:
mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
Can someone give me some guidance, how to get or compile this module, please?

Thanks in advance,

J4ZZ
