When i mount.cifs a windows share from a server (samba 3.0), i can see only 151 files and dir with ls -al | wc -l but thereis around 600 files and dir on this share. If i reboot my host with 2.6.26 (kernel from lenny) i can see all files and dir ... I test with squeeze and sid (i686) and i get the same problem. Note that i can cd and cat "invisible" files and dir if i know their names (i can't see them with ls) ! The problem do not occur with smbclient or nautilus with smb://server/share, only with mount.cifsPlease retest with 2.6.32-19 from unstable, -5 is quite old.
I test with 2.6.32-19 today (*) on a debian sid (i686). The problem is still there. I test also with an old 2.6.32 version (2.6.32-8) : same problem. With 2.6.26-21 and 2.6.26-24 (from lenny) on this same host (debian sid i686) there is no problem : i can see all files and directories.
