[Samba] smbfs pc-netlink problem

[Rob Brenart (TT)]

(Sorry Guenther, I accidentally replied to you personally early, my mistake)

Adding the oldattr option did not work, adding the oldattr option and
removing user from my fstab did do the trick.

Thank you so much!

This is a known issue. You can workaround it by using with the
(undocumented) "oldattr" option. Please give use feedback if it that helps
for you.
