I’m going to show you how to install the Linux CIFS client, connect to a Microsoft Windows server, mount file shares and share files between the two platforms. # mount.cifs manpage says: "To mount using the cifs client, a tcp name # (rather than netbios name) must be specified for the server." Referenced By cifs.idmap(8), getcifsacl(1), setcifsacl(1), umount.cifs(8) Popular servers such as Samba, Windows 2000, Windows XP and many others support CIFS by default. HP CIFS Client is based on Sharity. Extract from the Linux CIFS Client homepage: 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. The Linux CIFS Mailing list is the preferred place to ask questions regarding these programs. Subscribing to linux-cifs-client: Subscribe to linux-cifs-client by filling out the following form.

Samba can be used to set up storage server or sharing files and directories on the Linux system. # NetBIOS name. In this tutorial, we will explain how to manually and automatically mount Windows shares on Linux systems. Absolute symlinks will work to Samba 3.0.5 or later, but only for remote clients using the CIFS Unix extensions, and will be invisbile to Windows clients and typically will not affect local applications running on the same server as Samba. You could check the output of testparm -s on your FreeNAS server to actual protocol values. SMB3 is the now the default dialect (SMB3.02/SMB3/SMB2.1 dialects are requested by default). It provides an ftp-like interface on the command line. The maintainer of the Linux cifs vfs and the userspace tool mount.cifs is Steve French.
