[linux-cifs-client] Re: suse vs fedora (mount -t cifs)

[Valent Turkovic]

Seams Fedora has some other mechanism, because there aren't there
files/folders you talk about.

# ls -al /proc/fs/
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x   4 root root 0 Sep 20 21:17 .
dr-xr-xr-x 155 root root 0 Sep 20 09:37 ..
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root root 0 Sep 20 21:17 nfsd
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root root 0 Sep 20 21:17 xfs

Do you have any other ideas maby? I would be really grateful if I
would resolve this issue with mounting in Fedora.

Thank you once more for your effort.
