Ok then - where are the CIFSFS bug reports you posted
on this ?

Remember, if we don't know it's broken, nothing gets
fixed. If you want cifsfs to work again server X, log
bugs. This code is being maintained and extended. smbfs
is not. You may have a fondness for smbfs but no one is
working on it. cifsfs has active maintainers.

You know what's going to happen, I suggest you prepare
for it :-).

Jeremy.
