The patch titled
deprecate smbfs in favour of cifs
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
deprecate-smbfs-in-favour-of-cifs.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: deprecate smbfs in favour of cifs
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
smbfs is a bit buggy and has no maintainer. Change it to shout at the user on
the first five mount attempts - tell them to switch to CIFS.
Come December we'll mark it BROKEN and see what happens.
