I did not get a cFYI output from that test, but i redid a
mount-ls-umount and am attaching the tcpdump
Also here http://pastebin.com/J20uC6kU you can find the cifsFYI and the
contents of /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData form the same test

I do not know, and i am a bit afraid to downgrade this machine below 3.0
due to some changes arch linux has introduced recently. I can always set
up a few virtual machines though, and i can even request permission from
my company to give you shell access if you like. Which kernel versions
would you like me to test?
