Samba - The bane of my existence EUREKA!!!!!!!!!!

[Mark Phillips]

Oops, that was for a for a drive attached to my netgear router. The Buffalo
NAS entry in /etc/fstab is

//192.168.xx.xxx/linode /mnt/lswx2/linode cifs
rw,nounix,username=xxxxxxx,password=xxxxxxxx,uid=mark,file_mode=0644,dir_mode=0755
0  0

But I had the same issues with both cifs mounts.
