Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.21c-1
Severity: normal

  It seems from comments in e.g. bugs 291062 and 256637 that mounting
shares using smbfs is no longer expected to work correctly, and that
known bugs in smbfs won't be fixed.  Given that, would it be possible
for mount.smbfs to print a warning to that effect?  I recently had a
262G backup to a samba share corrupted by smbfs bugs, and I had never
heard before that happened that smbfs wasn't supposed to work correctly.
