I tried this but got the same results, EINVAL?
mount.cifs //machine/share /cifstest \
-o username=xxx,password=xxx,directio,rw,noperm,soft
Is the samba client utils, like smbmount and mount.cifs, supposed to support
O_DIRECT? There is mention of it in release notes, mostly samba4. Wondering if
I need a patch or something.
