------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2007-24-04 07:28 ------- Mike's patch mentioned in #1 is moot because all SMB support was removed from Wine with http://cvs.winehq.org/patch.py?id=12382 in March '04, with comment "Removed the no longer used SMB file I/O support, we can't do reliable file I/O in user space anyway."
winecfg appears to be the only place in Wine that mentions smb/cifs, and all it does it autodetect the mounts and let you create drive letters for them.
The URL for the UNC patch mentioned in #0 is stale; it's now at http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2001-December/001460.html All it did was try to resolve UNC paths by looking at /etc/fstab. Perhaps we should reconsider that approach (or possibly a more limited one that only looks at shares that have been assigned drive letters already). The objection to that before was probably that Wine should do full-on CIFS, but that objection was rendered moot when CIFS support was removed as unreliable.
Or perhaps we should wait for Linux to support per-user mounts. But even then we might consider the other method as a fallback for when running on operating systems that don't support that.
