This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of NAS protocols,
|
|
as well as for earlier dialects such as SMB2.1, SMB2 and the
|
|
Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS was the successor
|
|
to the original dialect, the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
|
|
native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
|
|
|
|
The SMB3 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems and
|
|
NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 8, Windows 2012, MacOS).
|
|
The older CIFS protocol was included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and
|
|
later) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS and SMB3
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Limited
|
|
support for OS/2 and Windows ME and similar very old servers is
|
|
provided as well.
|
|
|
|
The cifs module provides an advanced network file system client
|
|
for mounting to SMB3 (and 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.
|
|
|
|
In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
|
|
performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
|
|
Note that when mounting to Samba, due to the CIFS POSIX extensions,
|
|
CIFS mounts can provide slightly better POSIX compatibility
|
|
than SMB3 mounts. SMB2/SMB3 mount options are also
|
|
slightly simpler (compared to CIFS) due to protocol improvements.
|
|
|
|
If you need to mount to Samba, Macs or Windows from this machine, say Y.

config CIFS_STATS

bool "CIFS statistics"

mounted by the cifs client to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
|

config CIFS_STATS2

bool "Extended statistics"

depends on CIFS_STATS
|

help

Enabling this option will allow more detailed statistics on SMB
|
|
request timing to be displayed in /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData and also
|
|
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
|
|
and memory utilization.
|
|
|
|
Unless you are a developer or are doing network performance analysis
|
|
or tuning, say N.

config CIFS_WEAK_PW_HASH
|
|
bool "Support legacy servers which use weaker LANMAN security"
|
|
depends on CIFS
|
|
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.

Enables an upcall mechanism for CIFS which accesses userspace helper

help
|
|
Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
|
|
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page 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 this time.

If unsure, say Y.

|
|
than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables
|

support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers

CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
