And why KDE had to use it exclusively (I guess, motivated by the same
reasons that led them to go with the K I guess) instead of
smbmount/smbfs etc, beats me. smbfs performance is much better, though
of course there are currently issues with large files (>2GB), but I
don't think kio_smb gets anywhere near that anyway.

BTW, you can have smbtorture (ok, smbtorture3, and a few more) if you:

# urpmi samba3-debug
