2a38e120 22 This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of NAS protocols,
0fdfef9a
SF
23 (including support for the most recent, most secure dialect SMB3.1.1)
24 as well as for earlier dialects such as SMB2.1, SMB2 and the older
2a38e120
SF
25 Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS was the successor
26 to the original dialect, the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
27 native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
28
0fdfef9a
SF
29 The SMB3 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems
30 and NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016,
31 MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure).
2a38e120
SF
32 The older CIFS protocol was included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and
33 later) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS and SMB3
0fdfef9a
SF
34 server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Use of
35 dialects older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks.
36 This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME
37 and similar very old servers.
bb26b963 38
0fdfef9a 39 This module provides an advanced network file system client
2a38e120 40 for mounting to SMB3 (and CIFS) compliant servers. It includes
bb26b963 41 support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
0fdfef9a
SF
42 session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, RDMA
43 (smbdirect), advanced security features, per-share encryption,
44 directory leases, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
bb26b963 45 signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
2a38e120
SF
46
47 In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
48 performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
49 Note that when mounting to Samba, due to the CIFS POSIX extensions,
50 CIFS mounts can provide slightly better POSIX compatibility
51 than SMB3 mounts. SMB2/SMB3 mount options are also
52 slightly simpler (compared to CIFS) due to protocol improvements.

74 help
75 Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have
76 additional security features, including protection against
77 man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
78 of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.

98 Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
99 the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).
100 CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
101 namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
102 servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
103 seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.
104 The system namespace (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is
105 not supported at this time.
