Delete the last line “systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false”.

If you think you need it as boot parameter, add it as a value as follows to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=false"

and retry again.

Thanks for the help.

I deleted that line and

sudo apt-get install cifs-utils

I think you can mark this thread as solved.

And I recommend you to install the package linux-firmware to get rid of (most of) the “missing firmware” warnings.

I tried to install the package linux-firmware, but I got the same amount of “missing firmware” warnings. So I autoremoved that.

And many thanx for your help. I can mount my Zyxel NAS folders. :smiley:
