Hmm... There is a FAQ (must dig it out if I can find it) that specifically mentions
that smbfs honours the 'conv=' options
line FAT does. I have had this problem myself, with files coming out differently when
you read them through smbfs than
when you read them on a windows machine. I generally FTP between unix and windows
these days because the corruption
problems are a nightmare (not to mention smbfs suddenly dropping the connection in the
middle of a file copy and hanging
the 'cp' process). Generally SMB mounts will only stay 'alive' for half an hour or
so, then they will die. You have
to unmount/remount to wake them up again. I know a lot of stability problems have
been fixed recently, and maybe it's
better now, but I still wouldn't recommend trying to access a repository through it.
