Per my last message this was my being a clueless in regards to the lack of hard/soft link support in the old version. 'modinfo' pegs it as 1.60RH. Hopefully RHEL6 will include CIFS file links as it might work better to compile on Linux from a Windows share rather than vice-versa. 'makedepend' runs painfully slow from Windows over a Samba share unless IPoIB is used for transport. Perhaps I'll try it under Fedora, though in general I find wrestling with the constant change of the moving-target distro too much. It is quite encouraging to see CIFS work in general. Last time I tried three or four years ago the system crashed shortly after issuing the mount command. -- 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
