 A Partial List of Missing Features

-performance) and syncpage
+i) quota support (needs minor kernel change since quota calls
+to make it to network filesystems or deviceless filesystems)
+
+j) investigate sync behavior (including syncpage) and check

 k) hook lower into the sockets api (as NFS/SunRPC does) to avoid the
 extra copy in/out of the socket buffers in some cases.

+u) Create UID mapping facility so server UIDs can be mapped on a per
+mount or a per server basis to client UIDs or nobody if no mapping
+exists.  This is helpful when Unix extensions are negotiated to
+allow better permission checking when UIDs differ on the server
+and client.  Add new protocol request to the CIFS protocol

+
+x) Add support for OS/2 (LANMAN 1.2 and LANMAN2.1 based SMB servers)
