[1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-cifs-client&m=109221678006861&w=2 I'd love to deploy cifs and I've recommended it to many people, they've all switched back to smbfs! Now while I fully understand open source ethics (breaks, both pieces etc), I'd really hope cifs would shape up in terms of ""enterprise reliability"". Anything I can do to help, let me know. The referred URL contains some of my conclusions at the time.
