I *am* using CIFS, as you can see in the /etc/fstab lines:
//<ip address of nas box>/<share name> /home/hamish/<directory name> cifs credentials=/home/hamish/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
There is no CIFS in the repositories, so I installed SMBFS
What I want to know is:
* I have used the nautilus way of connecting to a share and created a "bookmark", but I cannot use VLC to play files from the bookmarked shares (smb:// is not supported) - this is a problem
* when using CIFS, I get errors starting up and shutting down. I have detailed these in the bug report - this is still a problem
I do NOT think that my bug report was correctly handled and would like some feedback on these issues that I have raised
