tail -f not working, less F not working, when I list the mounted directory, I
see that file has all time the sime size, what is not true.
For example perl script which not working to
my $fn = '/mounted_from_xp/file.txt';
open (FH, "<$fn");
for (;;) {
while (<FH>) {
print $_;
}
sleep 1;
seek(FH, 0, 1);
}

It is used.....but mostly for backwards compabibility and to avoid
breaking existing setups....so, well, when issues are fixed with
mount.cifs, we might as well close them of mark them "please rot
forever in the BTS"...
Hence closing..:)
