Package: smbfs<br>Version: 3.0.28-1<br>Severity: important<br><br>With the upgrade to 3.0.28-1, I am now unable to use any Windows shares<br>mounted from a Windows 2003 Server using DFS. This is because CIFS does<br>not yet fully support DFS and the SMBFS-related scripts that I was using have
<br>been replaced with forwarders to CIFS.<br><br>When I mount a Windows share from such a server, I am able to see the<br>top-level directories in this share, but if I 'ls' any of these<br>directories, I get another list of the top-level directories.
<br><br>Please consider keeping SMBFS support available until CIFS is able to<br>replace all reasonable uses of SMBFS. As things stand today, I am<br>completely unable to access any Windows shares on my company's network.
