Subject: cifs kernel module and MS DFS shares [2.6.12-1.1411_FC4]
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 15:26:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508081526.55555@moveAlongNothingToSeeHere> (raw)

(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.
