[Bug 286828] Re: Access to samba 3.0.24-3.0.25 shares using CIFS is broken on 8.10

[Holger Schletz]

Another workaround: set "msdfs root = no" on affected shares or in the
[global] section of smb.conf. If you don't use DFS at all you can also
disable it completely with "host msdfs = no".

This also made UNIX extensions finally work. Note that I had to remount
all shares to get things working. I don't use DFS, so I can't tell what
effect mixing DFS shares with non-DFS shares will have.

This approach has the advantage that you don't need any changes on the
client side, even when the nodfs option will be available - useful if
you have a lot of clients to fix.
