Is Blue Lion version 2.2?  If so, I am running one of the latest 2.2 betas over
here with SIO with no problems.

Actually, this is the first version of OS/2 that has a pretty stable Samba
sharing build in.  There was serious bugs in EVFS which would cause OS/2 to
crash randomly when mapping a share to another system.

That seems to be mostly fixed in 2.2 with one minor caveat.  If you have a
mapped drive from 2.2 to lets say Windows 7.  Then you reboot the Windows 7 VM
or system - 2.2 will crash with a JFS error.

It happens consistantly and probably another issue with EVFS.  Minor, since if
I reboot that VM, I will just reboot OS/2 afterwards.  Much better than random
issues that were happening before all the time.

I could map drives for the BBS *FROM* Windows 7 to OS/2 - no stability issues.
It was only when it was from OS/2 to Windows.

It wasn't a Samba bug, but EVFS.  There is also a big bug in OS/2 2.1 - where
the DOS session copy command will not work (will error).  You can only copy via
OS/2 command prompt.  That is also fixed in 2.2.
