I tried this but got the same results, EINVAL?
mount.cifs //machine/share /cifstest \
-o username=xxx,password=xxx,directio,rw,noperm,soft
Is the samba client utils, like smbmount and mount.cifs, supposed to support
O_DIRECT? There is mention of it in release notes, mostly samba4. Wondering if
I need a patch or something.

Does samba 3.0.23c not support the use of O_DIRECT? When I try to open an

with no problems on a block device and nfs mounts, so I know the kernel
supports it.
Are you using smbfs or cifsfs ? It isn't the Samba
server side that doesn't support the O_DIRECT, this
is a client side option. I would imagine cifsfs
supports this.
