Thanks for info - fortunately, I am using it with samba and
it works fine.

I understand, however, I see the nasty traffic even when
there is no activity at all on the mounted volumes. I am
not reading anything and not writing, so I guess caching
is not involved. But the more shares I mount, the heavier
is the traffic. Is this expected, or a bug? Where does that
traffic come from, if I do not do any transfer? Of course
the VFS can do some periodic pinging to see if the link is
still alive, but this can't cause such a big and constant
traffic, or can it?
