[CentOS] Mounting CIFS shares on C8

Hi all,

I'm tearing my hair off trying to understand the difference between C7 & C8
for mounting a cifs FS with fstab

I'm building a Plex media server on C8 and duplicated the fstab entries
over from my current C7 installation
My data (music & movies) are on CIFS shares on a Synology NAS.
The packages cifs-utils samba-client samba-common are installed, up to date
etc...

These are my current fstab entries on the C7 box

//192.168.1.200/mp3 /home/plex/Musique cifs
user=plex,pass=plex,ro,auto,vers=3.0
//192.168.1.200/videos /home/plex/Vidéos cifs
user=plex,pass=plex,ro,auto,vers=3.0


On my C8:

[root at plexvm etc]# cat fstab

#
# /etc/fstab
# Created by anaconda on Fri Apr  3 14:02:23 2020
#
# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk/'.
# See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info.
#
# After editing this file, run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to update systemd
# units generated from this file.

[root at plexvm etc]# mount -a

Any pointer would be MUCH appreciated!

Thanks
