I've had some good results with this version in Windows 7 x64 and now need to try in Linux Mint 16 x64.
Anyone had any experience with this version in a Linux environment?
Thanks

Just spent the better part of five days trying to get a windows share to mount as a "G" drive. Had done this in DOSBox under Win7 (64-bit) with no problem. Always returned an error saying the folder didn't exist. Finally found that the share has to be one level up from the folder you intend to mount. BTW this was in ZorinOS, a Ubuntu based distro. Wanted to mount a folder called old_g as drive g. In order to get it to work, I had to share old_g's parent, mount that to Zorin , then mount g /media/parent/old_g/. IMHO, this is a bug and should be patched. The DOSBox mount should work the same under Windows or Linux.

I think mount will only "reject" to mount something, when the systemcall "stat" fails (or doesn't return that it is a directory)
So you might want to look into that.
