Considering that the bug submitter reported problems when mounting from a server running samba 3.0.24, I don't think the server is missing Unix extensions support; and if the current mount.cifs client is that fragile wrt agreeing that the server has Unix extensions, vs. bailing and breaking the mount request, I think that would be a client bug. > This resolution wasn't necessary for my copy of LennyBeta2; however, it > was the resolution for my machine running openSUSE 11.0. If this hasn't even been shown to be able to fix the problem, I don't see how you can propose it as a "resolution". -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
