Description Björn Jacke 2004-10-12 02:59:43 UTC 
this is a container bug for all kind of bugs related to smbfs which probably
will not be fixed.

smbfs is unmaintained and known to be severely broken. Please use cifs instead
of smbfs, which works much better with recent kernels. You need mount.cifs to
use it.  Find more information at http://linux-cifs.samba.org/. If you find bugs
using cifs, please report them they will be fixed more likely than bugs in smbfs.

smbfs is removed now from the linux kernel and the smbfs mount helper vanished, too. Closing this report now.
