Changes and Fixes in Previous Release The following enhancements and changes are included in the previous A.02.02.01 release: New cifslogout -a (all) option This option allows users to log out from all current CIFS login sessions. This is particularly useful in environments which use the CIFS Client's Distributed File System feature (DFS), wherein several CIFS logins can be created in the background as users traverse a DFS tree.
Fixes in Previous Release The following fixes are included in the previous A.02.02.01 release: • mv(1) across DFS links This fix removes a limitation of the Distributed File System feature, in which a “permission denied” error was encountered when a file was moved across a DFS link. • CIFS Client cores during non-sequential reads if server disconnects (JAGag05228) This problem was discovered through the use of a Veritas backup utility, which performs non-sequential reads.
Known Problems and Workarounds This section provides a list of known problems and workrounds as known to HP at time of publication. For the HP CIFS Client • Byte range lock is not supported Byte range locks over a cifs mount are not supported. Calls to lockf(1) and fcntl(1) over a cifsmount will fail. Support for byte range locks may be added in a future release of the HP CIFS Client.
