Hello,
I just ran into the very same problem. I was able to verify the \\ behaviour using wireshark: SMB 228 Trans2 Request, QUERY_PATH_INFO, Query File All Info, Path: \\<netapp>\<share>\\<subdir> I thought about having a look inside the sourcecode, but I have no idea if this is implemented in userlang (cifs-utils) or kernel. When the nodfs option is given mount.cifs does not seem to query the \\ crap thus it will work. This will probably give a hint on how to fix the bug. This might also well work on Samba Servers, as Linux generally ignore double-slashes on fs access. Regards Sven -- Unix is simple and coherent, but it takes a genius – or at any rate a programmer – to understand and appreciate the simplicity (Dennis M. Ritchie) /me is giggls@ircnet, http://sven.gegg.us/ on the Web
