I use cifs on open wrt on a range of boxes and I mount the local NAS (which is 
actually a Linux box running Samba) with cifs. Sometimes I can write and 
sometimes I can't, in which case I try nfs. I've always got one or other to 
work.

I do this from the command line and get some error that when you go on-line has 
been fixed a long time ago, but people keep posting that they still have  it.

I've just accepted that cifs, at least Linux-to-Linux, won't always work.
