Works for me:

 [~]$ mkdir -p -- //calimero/corinna/newdir             <-- Samba
 [~]$ echo $?
 0
 [~]$ mkdir -p -- //calimero.vinschen.de/ext/newdir     <-- NFS
 [~]$ echo $?
 0
 [~]$ mkdir -p -- //vmbert2k25/c\$/newdir               <-- Windows SMB

If there *really* is a bug and you want it fixed, we need a *thorough*
bug description, a reliable reproducer or a useful trace.

This trace snippet is not helpful.  Looks like you removed the really
interesting part of the trace, showing where errno 30 (EROFS) comes
from.  Alternatively you debug this in GDB yourself.
