[Samba] Volume labels in XP

[George N. Weinisch]

We are having difficulties in getting the volume labels on mapped drives 
to appear consistently in XP over 2.2.8a.  Occasionally they will be 
rendered correctly, but more often than not the label shows up as a 
series of three boxes in windows, and a vol issued at a command prompt 
returns ??? for the drive in question.  The change in behaviour seems 
more a function of whether the drive has ever been mapped from that 
particular workstation previously, rather than any changes being made to 
smb.conf.  All Win2K workstations render the volume label correctly 
regardless of service pack.  We have tried explictly providing the label 
in smb.conf using the volume = parameter, to no avail.  Any thoughts?
