This backs out a lot of desired changes. For example I think that 'rm
-rf'
on large directories will no longer work if you apply this because you
change the cache to the old behaviour.

And you remove the nice "posix semantics for unlink".

It looks like you have simply gone back to the 2.2.14/15 version, and then
added findfirst/lastname things. Maybe you could make a smaller patch that
only adds back the parts necessary for it to work with OS/2? (or not,
Tridge can probably see that anyway).


Re: Your other email about listing long directories. I suggested something
similar to your patch for fixing this in 2.2, but the preferred change was
to use infolevel 260 instead of 259.

2.3/2.4-test hasn't received any of the changes that 2.2 has, including
long dirs, posix unlink, rm -rf fixes. I have a patch vs 2.3.99-pre9 to
upgrade smbfs to 2.2, that haven't made it past the maintainer yet.
