Ok, I found a vista machine to test against for now.
On the client side, you need smb2.ko from my smb2.git tree (which currently has some changes I need to put in to address some sideeffects of the Google Summer of Code smb2 async write performance improvements) - and if you don't want to use ip addresses (mount -t smb2 //127.0.0.1/someshare <http://127.0.0.1/someshare> /mnt .... etc) then you need to recompile mount.cifs.c as mount.smb2 and put mount.smb2 in /sbin
Do I understand correctly that I should be able to use standard mount so long as I use IP addresses? What do you mean about recompile mount.cifs.c? Do you mean rename mount.cifs to mount.smb2? Or do I need to hack on mount.cifs.c code? If I need to do any re-compiling at all, please point me to the proper upstream repository for these changes. It doesn't seem to be working on Fedora 13. I checked that smb2 module is loaded.
