called SMB2 and SMB3. Use of SMB3 (and later, including SMB3.1.1)
is strongly preferred over using older dialects like CIFS due to
security reaasons. All modern dialects, including the most recent,
SMB3.1.1 are supported by the CIFS VFS module. The SMB3 protocol
is implemented and supported by all major file servers
such as all modern versions of Windows (including Windows 2016
Server), as well as by Samba (which provides excellent
CIFS/SMB2/SMB3 server support and tools for Linux and many other
operating systems). Apple systems also support SMB3 well, as
do most Network Attached Storage vendors, so this network
filesystem client can mount to a wide variety of systems.
It also supports mounting to the cloud (for example
Microsoft Azure), including the necessary security features.
