The issue I'm describing is happening on samba servers. Server A has 2 DFS links to server B. First link is pointing the the root of a share, second link is pointing to a subdir of the same share. mounting A share and trying to ls or cd in these links result in both pointing to the root of the share B. > I have a patch similar to your second variant which we have > successfully tested in our lab and is currently undergoing user > testing.

Agreed. I can confirm that this patch lets me mount //SERVER/share/dfs-main where dfs-main is a DFS link.
