Repository on CIFS

Hi,

I have set up a Linux server that we can use to access our repositories. 
It runs the hgweb.wsgi script through nginx and uwsgi. This seems to 
work fine when the repositories are stored locally on the server.

However, I was trying to store them on a CIFS mount. I've only done some 
quick tests, but I ran into a problem: It seems that when folders need 
to be created, it fails. Repeating the same operation (sometimes a few 
times) works. I was wondering if I'm just missing some detail, or that 
this setup is not expected to work.

I was unable to find any suggestions on, for example, mount options to 
use for such a setup. I'd be grateful for any help!

Thanks!

Koen
