The kernel and > 'cifs.ko' modules are pure RHEL/CentOS version 2.6.18-194.11.3.el5, This is quite old kernel, but perhaps it was updated to include more recent fixes - can you view the version information on the file, ie the cifs.ko module (you can do this by running modinfo on cifs.ko) -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
