While following a tutorial I noticed that to mount a share via fstab with cifs-utils at boot in a LXC container it needs to be privileged and I need to enable SMB/CIFS under "Options" > "Features".

Then I checked another container I created last year (a Ubuntu 22 container I use for Plex) and I noticed I was able to mount with CIFS without enabling the feature.

Is it normal? Am I missing something?
