cifs-utils fix plus JWM drives menu tweaks

February 17, 2022 — BarryK

I thought that 'mount.cifs' was fixed, see:

I had recompiled cifs-utils in OE, without libcap support, but forum member esmourguit has reported it still doesn't work:

Well, as a workaround for the next release of EasyOS, using the cifs-utils PET, that does work.

The other news, is have been making some improvements to the JWM drives menu. In some situations it wasn't displaying the partitions correctly. Also, now getting it to popup after unmounting a partition, which serves as a confirmation.
