 is a partial list of the known problems and missing features:
 
-a) Support for SecurityDescriptors(Windows/CIFS ACLs) for chmod/chgrp/chown
+a) SMB3 (and SMB3.02) missing optional features:
-so that these operations can be supported to Windows servers

+   - directory leases (improved metadata caching)

 oplock breaks coming from windows srv.  Piggyback identical file
 opens on top of each other by incrementing reference count rather
 than resending (helps reduce server resource utilization and avoid
 spurious oplock breaks).

 will autorefresh (partially complete by Asser). Needs minor kernel
 vfs change to support removing D_NOTIFY on a file.

 Misc testing to do

 types. Try nested symlinks (8 deep). Return max path name in stat -f information

 negotiated size) and send larger write sizes to modern servers.
