2.6.32-5-openvz: Broken CIFS

[Stanislav Klinkov <klinkov@yandex.ru>]

Hello, Debian Kernel Team.

I have found a minor inconsistency in the package
"linux-image-2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64", "Squeeze" repository.
The module "cifs.ko" included in mentioned kernel is incompatible with
the "mount.cifs" tool (cifs-utils).

So, if I take packages "cifs-utils", "samba", "samba-common", "smbfs"
from the "lenny-backports" distributive, then everything works OK with
the 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 kernel. If I take everything from stable
("Squeeze") distributive, then "mount.cifs" command always fails with
the same kernel. If I take a kernel without OpenVZ support, everything
is allright.

The next issue is the bug, being present in 2.6.32.5-openvz kernel:
http://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1626
It was fixed only in "042test006.1" build. It will be very nice to have
a revised kernel version in the distributive.

And another wish. The 2.6.32.5-openvz is not stable enough yet. May be,
does it make sense to include 2.6.26-openvz kernel into "Squeeze" as an
option?

Thank you for your job.

With best regards,
Stanislav Klinkov.
