For example, case sensitive pathnames and all sorts of other 'posix' things are (potentially, I've not looked at what smbfs does currently) keyed of this. The list is growing, mostly for the cifs vfs, but I didn't expect the uid/gid stuff to be ported back either. The correct fix for this problem (if you are not willing to accept, as apparently everybody has since this 'problem' appeared over a year ago) is to have the kernel continue to honour the uid/gid/mode options, despite the extra information being available from the remote server. My worry is that sarge will forever have CAP_UNIX removed from smbfs, even when the kernel is fixed (if that is indeed a required solution).
