Simplifying: 1) older smbfs/smbmount had a "bug": they didn't support DFS (which Windows clients do, and Linux cifs client does) which is a critical feature of the protocol in multiple server environments 2) Windows does not support Unix Extensions
Samba server introduced a bug (long since fixed) which affects clients which support BOTH Asking the kernel cifs client to always disable DFS support (ie without a mount option) to work around a bug in one server version would make things even worse because that would hurt accessing all of the servers that have working DFS support. -- Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
