Yes, cifs is used often to mount windows shares, but in this special case I
just chose cifs, as NFS has no current user space server and I want to share
some filesystems of a virtual host, where I can't add kernel modules.
So actually in my setup I use a Linux CIFS Server (aka. smbd, samba) and the
cifs client from plan9.
The shared filesystem originally is a ext2 (or 3 or 4).
Should I really have managed to step over a system design bug that is imported
from 1978 till now, through all systems and versions.
Actually, mounting the cifs with a linux mount -t cifs command maps the "aux"
filename correctly. So the bug might just have been imported into the plan9
cifs client.
Funny bug.

cifs is Windows, i think.
If this is the case, then you may run into the issue of implicit
filenames. Search «aux tale», or browse
<heirloom.sourceforge.net/mailx_aux_c.html>.
