So why the hell did Suse decide to outright DROP smbfs is they can co-exist? You would think they would put both in and solicit community feedback on which ones work better and what the problems were?
Isn't that the purpose of opensuse? To find problems before they find their way into SLED?
I agree with you, of course.
I'm getting a little tire of being a test bed with no choice in the
matter. Well, you do have a choice: you can poke around until you fortuitiously discover that recompiling the kernel is the solution, and then go through the labor needed to implement that solution. Or you can live with the workarounds -- which neither of us was willing to do. ~~~ I'm connecting to our windows' shares using names instead IP addresses using cifs and not experiencing any problems (Suse 9.1 -10.0). What is it that can't be done using cifs? One thing I noticed that I prefer using cifs over smbfs is if the windows box is rebooted, the cifs mount recovers while the smbfs mounts would timeout and become unmountable. ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
