After doing a lot of testing I discovered extra parameters are needed in
the mount command which are not required in Stretch (I have multiple
computers and virtual machines running Stretch and none of them have
needed these parameters when mounting a Samba share). The host server is
also running Stretch.
these extra parameters are uid=xxxx,gid=xxxx
so a mount entry in /etc/fstab would look like
//111.222.33.44/sharename /mountpoint cifs
credentials=/homepath/.smbcredentials,uid=1000,gid=1000
at the very minimum
Usually the number will be 1000 on a system with only one user. If you
have a different uid for your user account or gid for your group you
would presumably use that. If you have a multi user system I have no
idea which uid/gid you would use as I have no knowledge of what these
parameters do.
The findmnt command will list all the mount points and the default
options assumed for each. If the uid and gid are not specified then the
output from findmnt shows that these will each be defaulted to 0. It
would seem there are enough differences in the cifs mounting for Buster
to trip people up if they have not specified enough options.
