Subject: Re: [2.6.27 patch] the scheduled smbfs removal

FYI - last week at connectathon I added one patch relating to backlevel 
support and mapping of open flags on legacy smb open calls (although 
perhaps some longtime smbfs users would not notice since smbfs did not 
have this support either).

The utimes support for backlevel servers is one obvious thing that I have 
not added (but smbfs had some limited support for) but was considring 
adding.
