[ubuntu-uk] smbfs error handling

I thought I'd just put this out there because I can't seem to find any
information... Hopefully one of you good people will know :-)

Does smbfs run any kind of error checking/correction on during
transfer of data to SMB shares on Windows machines? I'm backing some
stuff up to a Window machine and wondered if I need to run md5sum on
the files to check for corruption during transfer, or whether SMB/CIFS
deals with that automatically?

Cheers,

Chris
