You usually will get better behavior to Samba mounting with the Linux
Extensions enabled but wanted to note that with cifs 1.50 (now on the
download site if you have kernel version later than about 2.6.14 or so
http://pserver.samba.org/samba/ftp/cifs-cvs/cifs-1.50.tar.gz) you can
disable Unix Extensions more easily for just one mount via the new
cifs  mount option "nosfu"

Also note that since cifs version 1.49 (maybe even a little earlier)
you can override the uid and/or gid by specifying it on mount -
whether or not Unix Extensions are enabled.
