Hi Jason,

I too found that link, which is where I got the idea that
"vfsisloadable" was an outdated parameter, but I saw that loading the
smb_fs module generated an error for that user, so I didn't follow up
on that information.

I'm glad you pointed this out though, as loading the kernel module
works for me.

But without your response, how would I ever have known this?  It's
certainly not mentioned in UPDATING, and the error output was not
helpful.  Where would I have found this information?

Thanks,
~John
