Hmm... perhaps I'll attempt a test over the weekend using a workstation
somewhere here. Do you have any idea when the LFS patch for smbfs will
attempt to get into the stable kernel? Or is it "2.5 stuff"? How about the
smbmount LFS support?

Ugh. It's a good thing I didn't decide to go through those 2G loops until
I got to 2T with md5sum! Thanks for the info. :)
