[linux-cifs-client] cifs mounts never synch with changes

[Steve Salazar]

You patch definitely seems like it could be related to my problem.  However, 
I'm not really much for recompling and patching kernel modules.  I have done 
this in the past but usually only when there were a,b,c type directions that 
made the process simple.  If you could provide such instructions, I would 
definitely try it out.

BTW, something is seriously wrong with the threaded view of the mailing list 
archives.
