Hi Andreas. I like the idea of enabling a method of returning that
information to the user. It seem, though, that the implementation you
propose leaves a flag value in the internal structure that is only
meaningful if one knows the state of the context, specifically, what the
last connection request was.

An alternate solution would be to provide an smbc_fstatvfs() function. I
haven't looked into the details yet, but we may be able to fill in most fo
the struct statvfs fields appropriately, and in particular, we could specify
a number of bits for f_flag field, including one for Unix CIFS support. What
do you think of this alternative?
