2.6.10-ac fixes several problems with the later smbfs code but cifs is
probably the better choice

Perhaps if you could provide some more details on the breakage, that would 
make it easier for people to help you and track down the bug. Take a look 
at the REPORTING-BUGS document in the kernel source dir for a sample 
bugreporting form that will help you get all relevant details posted (in 
addition to what you already posted).

No luck with smbfs in 2.6.10 with SMP either; however, I discovered the 
existence of CIFS (which I previously did not know about), and it 
appears to work smoothly in place of smbfs.

Thanks for the input, however; I'm sure it's better for me to be running 
a .10 instead of .8 anyhow.

Cheers,
