If the pathname has a ':' in it, I'd want to yell at someone. What kind of sick person does that? :) Honestly, I can think of a scenario where this kind of pathname is somewhat likely; an iSCSI initiator exporting a target using its iSCSI pathname which usually contain a few ':'s. I'm sure that's not common, but surely not unused. I'll spin a patch Tuesday (I'm traveling Monday) and if anyone disagrees with this behavior they can NAK it. -- Peace and Blessings, -Scott. -- 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
