With a file-system declartion of:

#+BEGIN_SRC scheme
(file-system
 (mount-point "/home/user/foo")
 (device "//server/foo")
 (type "cifs")
 (options "username=user,vers=2.0,uid=1000,gid=988")
 (check? #f)
 (create-mount-point? #t)
 (mount-may-fail? #t))
#+END_SRC

I get the following error:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
$ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
/etc/config.scm:97:9: error: device '//server/foo not found: No such file or directory
#+END_EXAMPLE

With =cifs-utils= installed, I would expect this to work.

Unfortunately that’s not enough.

Like NFS, CIFS requires special support, which is currently missing from
(gnu build file-systems).

Thanks,

I apologize if I'm missing something, but this is the bug I'm attempting
to report.

Sure, sorry for the miscommunication!  The point I wanted to make is
that it’s not a “bug” per se but rather a missing feature.

It doesn’t help but I thought it would clarify the situation.  :-)

Ah! I was wondering if there was a different way to request features! Is
debbugs not the way to do that?

Yes, it is; there’s a “wishlist” tag we can add.
