Re: Regression -- linux 5.5.3: can no longer mount with unix extentions using cifs 2.1 (Win10-only client additions).

Shouldn't the mount have fallen back automatically to the unix extensions
that worked? I have had the hard links working correctly which I thought
required the unix extensions. Right now, it seems my ability to
access my win7 workstation from the unix client is messed up -- get
permission errors all over the place, so this limits my testing.


However this problem with link/symlines I can preproduce:
I was able to create some type of symlink/softlink as well as
able to use existing symlinks on windows to access other windows
destinations.

For example (following are 4 dir listings of my C-drive
root). First is how things look under win cmd. and 1A is cygwin listing
2rd is slightly interesting it's how the linux client see that same root.
without cifsacls in place.

3th is the most broken showing howt he linux client sees the root mounting
it with cifsacls.

If note: 'bliss/Isthar' is my domain server.

1a) As an aside, for completeness of listing types:
Cygwin on the workstation, cygwin loses info in regards to
reparsed points junctions and mountd(not shown) vs. symlinks.

---------------------------

There was an issue with inode numbers returned for root of drives in windows (returning zero incorrectly). Can you see if this works to non root share?

I only have one (1) disk on my windows box...various reasons.
O.T.

OF note my login from the linux client has no access
