New kernels and smbfs

[Harry Putnam]

Do the latest *100+ kernels have smbfs built in once again?

no. I want to try and get folks to beat on cifs some more before
falling back to smbfs.  The upstream folks are very receptive to
feedback, so if you have a problem, mail its maintainer
Steven French <sfrench(a)us.ibm.com&gt; and let him know what exactly
is failing.

If by the time we get to test3 things aren't looking too rosy,
I'll reenable smbfs in addition to cifs.

Thanks for the pointer but just sneaking a preview question here:
Is cifs read-only by derault or something?
My trouble is getting things mounted rw.

Its fat32 not NTFS so should be writable some how, with correct
options, at least it would seem so from man mount.cifs.

example that results in ro mounting:
  (wrapped for mail)
  mount.cifs  //192.168.0.15/J-ahn-d \
    /mnt/J-ahn-d -o rw,username=Administrator,password=''

NTFS is disabled in the Fedora Core kernels (the archives have the 
reason for this).
CIFS is the name of the protocol created by microsoft to share 
filesystems between computers.. it's the protocol behind samba...
