Not everyone supports CIFS. Windows 98 does not, and some SANs do not either. And the CIFS, as in 2.6.18, does not support SMB yet. Deactivating smbfs was not so good, after all.
eh, I don't understand... I use my SuSE10.2 (with mount -t cifs and so on...) to mount a couple of shares from a SLES9 box, running SAMBA. Don't you say that "...does not support SMB yet."
Since you did not get it, let's have it in a concrete form: mount -t cifs //windows98/C will _not_ work as of 2.6.18, because (a) windows98 does not do CIFS (b) cifs.ko does not do SMB in 2.6.18. IOW (a) windows98 can only understand SMB (b) cifs.ko can only do CIFS in 2.6.18 <=> Union[a, b] = EmptySet -`J' --
