It will use that info to get smbconnect to do the proper magic to get a new connection. So it doesn't have to be just printouts. If this field is meant to be accessed by the fs code then I could put that info there. Or someone could set it to dev_name in get_sb_nodev (if that string is what I think it is). Or I can do what I do now and pass it as a separate option and keep it in a smbfs private area. /Urban - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | |||||||||
