Hi Felix,

if you try to mount a server which is using an
old SMB dialect (like OS/2), you get this error.

Some weeks ago we already discussed that.
The current cifs is atm not enabled to support the
older dialects.
That was the reason we built our own kernel with
cifs enabled to also negotiate an older dialect.

The current cifs code must be enhanced (and tested)
to support some more aspects of the older SMB dialect.
With your own special build of cifs you already noticed
the wrong timestamps.

Cheers, Guenter
