file_mode If CIFS Unix extensions are not supported by the server
this overrides the default mode for file inodes.
+ fsc Enable local disk caching using FS-Cache (off by default). This
+ option could be useful to improve performance on a slow link,
+ heavily loaded server and/or network where reading from the
+ disk is faster than reading from the server (over the network).

+ type workloads. So, you need to consider carefully your

this overrides the default mode for directory inodes.
