+ This enables experimental support for the SMB2 (Server Message Block
|
|
|
+ version 2) protocol. The SMB2 protocol is the successor to the
|
|
|
+ popular CIFS and SMB network file sharing protocols. SMB2 is the
|
|
|
+ native file sharing mechanism for recent versions of Windows
|
|
|
+ operating systems (since Vista). SMB2 enablement will eventually
|
|
|
+ allow users better performance, security and features, than would be
|
|
|
+ possible with cifs. Note that smb2 mount options also are simpler
|
|
|
+ (compared to cifs) due to protocol improvements.
