Sorry, it has been a very long day, and I did not communicate my point
precisely.
My point is that mkdir("//ember.data4.local") for a share should in my
opinion not return EROFS, because the share already exists.

Looking at the code:
int
fhandler_base::mkdir (mode_t)
{
 if (exists ())
   set_errno (EEXIST);
 else
   set_errno (EROFS);
 return -1;
}

My guess is that exists() fails. The why? and how? I do not know.

Maybe the hostname resolution in fhandler_netdrive::exists() failed?
