[linux-cifs-client] Domain based DFS namespace works?

[Suresh Jayaraman]

Hi all,

It's not clear to me whether complete domain based DFS namespace support
is available or not with linux cifs implementation. For e.g.

Suppose there are two Win2k3 servers (dfs1, dfs2) and a seperate win2k3
PDC as AD (ad.domain). Both dfs1 and dfs2 are part of ad. dfs1 has a
namespace 'ns 'and referral link 'ref' present in dfs2.

If I try to mount the DFS namespace using AD domain, is it expected to work?
     mount -t cifs //ad.domain/ns /mnt -o user=Administrator
(note that I'm trying to mount the referral directly)

In one of our setup it doesn't seem to be working. But I'm not sure
whether it's a configuration issue or not.

Thanks,
