I'm using Linux on a LAN. I have several Windows 95 systems on the LAN which can be mounted on the Linux box using smbmount (smbfs-0.8). Using kernel 2.0.22 with the smbfs patches applied I have no problems working on the mounted filesystems. On switching to kernel 2.0.29, which apparently has the smbfs patches already applied, I'm having a number of problems writing to files on on the smbfs filesystem, apparently associated with spurious error returns from one or more file I/O system calls.
I can send more details if necessary but thought this might be a known problem since apparently it goes back several kernel versions (I had it with 2.0.25 also). I've written to Volker Lendecke about the problem, but since it seems to be related to the kernel version, perhaps this is a more appropriate place to inquire.
