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.
