I don't think there are any quick fixes. (The jCIFS team apparently don't believe that many people want IPv6 support. That maybe true right now, but surely it will have to change.)

I can suggest a couple of options:

  • Request it; e.g. add a "request for enhancement" against jCIFS using the Samba bugzilla.

  • Implement it yourself. This thread might give you some ideas about how to go about it.

  • Approach the jCIFS team about paying someone to implement it for you.
