There are several features that SMB v3 has that makes it very attractive. The key performance feature is native support for RDMA links -- this provides ultra-low latency connections, which therefore provides **much** faster connection speeds (near equivalent to IB/Infiniband). The key feature is support for applications is cluster failover -- SMB 3 allows shares to be defined in a failover cluster, such that if the host which is servicing SMB3 requests dies, another member of the failover cluster will seamless take over the requests. In order to support this feature application require some coding changes -- I had already created tracker cases for the changes (providing citations from MS sources). I do not see SMB 2 as an appropriate for use for database functions.
