Volker mentioned a problem with the Linux client translating reparse points from querydir output (e.g. "ls -l" with POSIX extensions when symlinks are present). I was able to repro this to current Samba from current cifs.ko when mounted with "posix" mount option. "ls -l" returns "No such file or directory" for the reparse points in the directory (Samba server reports symlinks as reparse points when POSIX extensions enabled) -- Thanks, Steve
