We +used to use the same "vcnumber" for all connections which could cause +the server to treat subsequent connections, especially those that +are authenticated as guest, as reconnections, invalidating the earlier +user's smb session. This fix allows cifs to mount multiple times to the +same server with different userids without risking invalidating earlier +established security contexts. fsync now sends SMB Flush operation +to better ensure that we wait for server to write all of the data to +server disk (not just write it over the network). Add new mount +parameter to allow user to disable sending the (slow) SMB flush on +fsync if desired (fsync still flushes all cached write data to the server). +Posix file open support added (turned off after one attempt if server +fails to support it properly, as with Samba server versions prior to 3.3.2) +Fix "redzone overwritten" bug in cifs_put_tcon (CIFSTcon may allocate too +little memory for the "nativeFileSystem" field returned by the server +during mount). + Version 1.56 ------------ Add "forcemandatorylock" mount option to allow user to use mandatory @@ -7,7 +26,10 @@ specified and user does not have access to query information about the top of the share.
