It works great for all clients* except the linux kernel (v4.9) mount, which was what led me astray. Any idea if this works in more recent kernels? If not where do I wish list this. :) Thanks, Chad. * clients tested Windows 10, Mac OS X 10.12, gnome 3.22 vfs, linux kernel v4.9 .

Support for DFS on smb2+ was only added in linux 4.11.

DFS links do work like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootNO But not like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootYES Somehow the destination having 'msdfsroot yes' prevents the cifs kernel module from following the link. Thanks! C.
