I don't see how this could be related to any changes in smbmount. smbmount
is not involved at all in handling open syscalls as it only mounts. Are
there even any changes in smbmount between SAMBA_2_2 and release-2-2-2?

Perhaps someone has changed what smbmount negotiates.

Did you change anything else beside samba version?


EIO is commonly returned by smbfs when it has detected what it thinks is a
network problem, such as the server disconnecting. Do you get any messages
from the kernel? (dmesg)
