That sounds like a good tip that should go on the wiki. Link to any 
references you dug up.

So why do the extensions get turned on again after the initial connection?

Seems unlike. More likely a bug in your NAS box or another artifact of 
the lack of full CIFS support.

If it was a general problem with the kernel or the Linux CIFS 
implementation, it'd be widely reported. Should be easy enough for 
someone to verify this by mounting a Samba share on an MVP.
