Samba Considerations
|
||||
====================
|
||||
To get the maximum benefit from the CIFS VFS, we recommend using a server that
|
||||
supports the SNIA CIFS Unix Extensions standard (e.g. Samba 2.2.5 or later or
|
||||
Samba 3.0) but the CIFS vfs works fine with a wide variety of CIFS servers.
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Most current servers support SMB2.1 and SMB3 which are more secure,
|
||||
but there are useful protocol extensions for the older less secure CIFS
|
||||
dialect, so to get the maximum benefit if mounting using the older dialect
|
||||
(CIFS/SMB1), we recommend using a server that supports the SNIA CIFS
|
||||
Unix Extensions standard (e.g. almost any version of Samba ie version
|
||||
2.2.5 or later) but the CIFS vfs works fine with a wide variety of CIFS servers.
|
||||
Note that uid, gid and file permissions will display default values if you do
|
||||
not have a server that supports the Unix extensions for CIFS (such as Samba
|
||||
2.2.5 or later). To enable the Unix CIFS Extensions in the Samba server, add
