    In that case, when you update to the 2.6 kernel, you should consider
    using the 'cifs' filesystem rather than 'smbfs'. That way you get more
    unixy features, like accurate representation of hard and symbolic
    links.

    I haven't tried 'cifs', but that's the theory. Just a tip,

    Peter
