better)
c) multi-user mounts - multiplexed sessionsetups over single vc
-(ie tcp session) - prettying up needed, and more testing needed
+(ie tcp session) - prettying up needed
d) Kerberos/SPNEGO session setup support - (started)
extra copy in/out of the socket buffers in some cases.
l) finish support for IPv6. This is mostly complete but
-needs a simple conversion of ipv6 to sin6_addr from the
-address in string representation.
+needs a simple inet_pton like function to convert ipv6
+addresses in string representation.
m) Better optimize open (and pathbased setfilesize) to reduce the
oplock breaks coming from windows srv. Piggyback identical file
spurious oplock breaks).
o) Improve performance of readpages by sending more than one read
-at a time when 8 pages or more are requested. In conjuntion
-add support for async_cifs_readpages.
+at a time when 8 pages or more are requested. Evaluate whether
+reads larger than 16K would be helpful.
-p) Add support for storing symlink and fifo info to Windows servers
-in the Extended Attribute format their SFU clients would recognize.
-
-q) Finish fcntl D_NOTIFY support so kde and gnome file list windows
-will autorefresh (started)
+p) For support of Windows9x/98 we need to retry failed mounts
+to *SMBSERVER (default server name) with the uppercase hostname
+in the RFC1001 session_init request.
-r) Add GUI tool to configure /proc/fs/cifs settings and for display of
-the CIFS statistics (started)
+q) Add support for storing symlink and fifo info to Windows servers
+in the Extended Attribute format their SFU clients would recognize.
-q) implement support for security and trusted categories of xattrs
-(requires minor protocol extension) to enable better support for SELINUX
+r) Finish fcntl D_NOTIFY support so kde and gnome file list windows
+will autorefresh
-r) Implement O_DIRECT flag on open (already supported on mount)
+s) Add GUI tool to configure /proc/fs/cifs settings and for display of
+the CIFS statistics

+KNOWN BUGS (updated May 27, 2004)
====================================
1) existing symbolic links (Windows reparse points) are recognized but
can not be created remotely. They are implemented for Samba and those that
differences but worth investigating). Also debug Samba to
see why lock test case 7 takes longer to complete to Samba
than to Windows.
+5) implement search rewind (seeking backward in a readdir), which is
+necessary for one of the "special" subsection of posix file API
+tests in the Connectathon nfs test suite.
Misc testing to do
