Ah, someone who actually uses netncp and nwfs! I've been trying to keep the ipx/spx code alive and working through the MPSAFE network stack work, but I'm really not set up to test that, let alone the Netware file system parts. Let us know how it goes. The netsmb and netncp code is well-structured, but designed with pre-SMPng locking primitives and network stack in mind, so will need quite a bit of work to pull forwards. As Attilio has already been running into, netsmb has rather intimate knowledge and reliance on some of the more obscure behaviors of lockmgr :-). This is something that will need to be fairly high on the list of things to change. Apple has started doing some of this in their fork of our netsmb code, but there's a lot more to do I think.
