SMB2 dialect is not as common (would be important if the servers were Windows Vista, Windows 2008) anymore, as almost all modern servers support SMB3 or later dialect, but it is still worth fixing if you found bugs specifying SMB2 on mount (vers=2) (the last version of the open source Samba 2 server, which only supported CIFS, not SMB2 or SMB3 dialects) came out in 2004 - but that doesn't seem to be what you meant) -- 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
