This is the client VFS module for the Common Internet File System
|
||
|
|
(CIFS) protocol which is the successor to the Server Message Block
|
||
|
|
(SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
|
||
|
|
PC operating systems. The CIFS protocol is fully supported by
|
||
|
|
file servers such as Windows 2000 (including Windows 2003, NT 4
|
||
|
|
and Windows XP) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS
|
||
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
|
||
|
|
support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar servers is provided as
|
||
|
|
well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system
|
||
|
|
client for mounting to CIFS compliant servers. It includes
|
||
|
|
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
|
||
|
|
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2,
|
||
|
|
safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
|
||
|
|
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
|
||
|
|
If you need to mount to Samba or Windows from this machine, say Y.

Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB

allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the

value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).

These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance

help
|

|
|
Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
|
||
|
|
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
|
||
|
|
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
|
||
|
|
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
|
||
|
|
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
|
||
|
|
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
|
||
|
|
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
|
||
|
|
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
|
||
|
|
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
|
||
|
|
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
|
||
|
|
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
|
||
|
|
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
|
||
|
|
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
|
||
|
|
can be set to required (or optional) either in
|
||
|
|
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
|
||
|
|
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
|
||
|
|
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
|
||
|
|
attack.
|
||
|
|
|

If unsure, say N.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

|
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
|

|
|
<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details). CIFS maps the name of
|

|
|
extended attributes beginning with the user namespace prefix
|
||
|
|
to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows servers without the
|
||
|
|
user namespace prefix, but their names are seen by Linux cifs clients
|
||
|
|
prefaced by the user namespace prefix. The system namespace
|
||
|

(used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is not supported at

Enabling this option adds a few more debugging routines

the cifs module and can cause additional logging of debug
