(I was referred here by Thomas Anders over on the Samba list, as apparently it's the cifs kernel module at fault ?).
I am having problems mounting a DFS share using mount.cifs, even though it works in smbclient fine. After mounting, each top-level directory contains a copy of the top level directory. Turning up debug and verbose don't seem to help. Any ideas ? I can mount non-DFS shares from the same CIFS server fine.
