Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

PC operating systems. New and improved versions of CIFS are now
called SMB2 and SMB3. These dialects are also supported by the
CIFS VFS module. CIFS is fully supported by network
file servers such as Windows 2000, 2003, 2008 and 2012
as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS

The intent of this module is to provide the most advanced network
file system function for CIFS compliant servers, including better
POSIX compliance, secure per-user session establishment, high
performance safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
signing, large files, Unicode support and other internationalization
improvements. Since both Samba server and this filesystem client support
the CIFS Unix extensions, the combination can provide a reasonable
alternative to NFSv4 for fileserving in some Linux to Linux environments,
not just in Linux to Windows environments.
