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 10, Windows Server 2016, + MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure). + 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). Use of + dialects older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks. + This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME + and similar very old servers. + + This 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, RDMA + (smbdirect), advanced security features, per-share encryption, + directory leases, 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.
