Description : Advanced Common Internet File System for Linux
The CIFS VFS is a virtual file system for Linux to allow access to servers
and storage appliances compliant with the SNIA CIFS Specification version
1.0 or later. Popular servers such as Samba, Windows 2000, Windows XP and
many others support CIFS by default.
The CIFS VFS does not provide support for older servers based on the more
primitive SMB (Server Message Block) protocol (you can use the Linux
filesystem smbfs for these).
CIFS VFS is designed to take advantage of advanced network filesystem
features such as locking, Unicode (advanced internationalization),
hardlinks, dfs (heirarchical, replicated name space), distributed caching
and uses native TCP names (rather than RFC1001, Netbios names).
