Tried the RHEL6 beta 2 and it behaves the same as RHEL 5.5.
'modinfo' output for both attached. 'cifs.ko' versions are
1.60RH and 1.63.
In both versions it seems like hard-links work and symbolic
links fail with
ln: creating symbolic link `zzzz': Operation not supported
And it appears that a 'pax -r' extraction followed by 'rm' for
selected files has some difficulty with CIFS 1.6x rendered
hard link in the mix.
I'm probably giving up on the idea for now, but thanks
for your help.
