We still have a number of RHEL4 users who use smbfs. While it's not actively being worked on upstream, there are a number of fixes that have gone there in since RHEL4's release that we should probably take.

Created attachment 240341 [details] patch 7 This patch is not yet upstream, but I'll probably send it there in the near future. There's also another experimental patch in bug 241545 that we may want to take as well, depending on upstream review. If that patch actually fixes the problem reported there, then I may just fold that BZ into this one.
