Adding Suresh to keep him in the loop too.
As there are several people very active regarding CIFS kernel development I
suggest to discuss the support for OS/2 upstream. This even shows the
requirement of OS/2 support to the Linux CIFS community.
linux-cifs-client@lists.samba.org is the list in question.
As smbfs isn't longer developed I fear it might get removed from the kernel
upstream as well.
The drop of smbfs from the SUSE kernels was driven by our experience from the
past. Instead of using CIFS SUSE customers again and again ran in trouble by
using smbfs. By removing smbfs this had been decreased a lot.
The opposite, complains regarding the removal had been the minority.
Nevertheless the report shows there is still a requirement for smbfs. Even if
minimal. But instead of adding smbfs to the SUSE kernel again I suggest to
combine the different forces to close this gap.
