hello, maybe this is the wrong place, but according to http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html linux kernel cifs should be able to handle M$ dfs shares. I looked at the installation and usage instructions but it doesn't work. On the mount.cifs manpage I found no hint about a special switch to activate dfs parsing. Can anybody put some light into this?
