It's actually dead code at this point - fs/nfsd/vfs.c:check_export() refuses to export a filesystem that does not have a fh_to_dentry operation, which cifs doesn't provide. IMHO it's best to just remove the option and all surrounding code. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
