Hello! This small patch fixes a problem with smbfs in 2.6.19.2 kernel. Should also apply to other kernels. The problem is that smbfs doesn't understand "user" and "noexec" options. This makes it impossible to include into /etc/fstab lines like: /pc2/myshare /mnt/smb/pc2/myshare smbfs user,noauto 0 0 Smbmount expands "user,noauto" to "user,noauto,noexec" plus something else, don't remember exactly what. In the result such an entry simply can't be mounted because smbfs fails due to unknown options. This patch makes smbfs silently ignoring all unknown options instead of producing an error. Also i would suggest to introduce this behavor to all other filesystems. This would greatly improve autofs usability. Imagine a situation: i have a ZIP drive and i'd like to be able to use ext2, ext3 and vfat-formatted cartridges. Also i'm russian user so i use NLS feature for names translation. In the fstab i would write: /dev/hdd /mnt/zip ext2,ext3,vfat user,noauto,iocharset=koi8-r,codepage=866 0 0 But in this case ext2 and ext3 wouldn't work at all since they would fail due to unknown "iocharset" and "codepage" options. -- Best regards, Pavel mailto:sonic_amiga@xxxxxxxxxx
