Yes, It is possible to mount with ln -s in dosdevices EG: mount -t cifs //myserver/myshare /wine_run/dosdevices/i: Yes, when you use "wine cmd" and you type "i:" you see the entire directory shared by samba But, theprogram.exe can't open a file EG "i:\mydoc.txt" and write in it...
Can 'wine notepad' open and save that file?
To answer, wine SEEMS to work, for example notepad can read and write mydoc.txt
I presume the problem is from open read/write close file function with protection reading/writing by other user (API who is not used by API windows but can be used by professionnal program to enhance speed)
EG: if (hf=open(nomfile,O_RDWR|O_BINARY|O_CREAT)==-1) return FFAILURE; idem with flock,locking,lseek ...
This code don't work under wine (but work since 15years under win32) and if i must chance 'myprog.exe' time to change the prog cost more than buy xp licences... for api could be worked and the problem remains for other progs like borland C++, oracle client 7.3.3.2.0, etc...
(we touch on one hand an iceberg of programs that could work... but unknown by 'end-users' )
