Mounting CIFS with root not accessible - permission denied
Subsystems (2)
Basic explanation: Mounting a SMB share with CIFS fails saying in the kernel log that it can't traverse up to the root directory if the root directory is not accessible (in my case with NTFS ACLs), even if prefixpath is used.
Read a few earlier threads on this that said this was fixed, but it seems to still be a problem for me on 3.7.0-rc8+.

Nope, not fixed. With current kernels, you need to be able to access the entire path down from the root of the share. I'd be happy to help review patches if someone does fix it however...
