Questions: Has there been some kind of hidden parameter relatively recently added to samba 3 that identifies shares as cifs or smbfs? Is the Linux client programmed to react to this? Are these protocols becoming mutually exclusive? If any of this is true, where is the documentation? Why me?
smbfs has been replaced in the linux kernel by cifs, so smbfs is no longer being kept up to date. cifs is now a mount option in newer releases. cifs is "Common Internet File System". It's based on the SMB protocol. Hasn't been a secret. Didn't make the front page of the NY Times though. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/mount.cifs.8.html Regards, Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
