smbdirect support (SMB3 over RDMA) should be enabled by default in many configurations. It is not experimental and is stable enough and has enough performance benefits to recommend that it be configured by default. Change the "If unsure N" to "If unsure Y" in the description of the configuration parameter.

This is the client VFS module for the SMB3 family of NAS protocols,
|
|
(including support for the most recent, most secure dialect SMB3.1.1)
|
|
as well as for earlier dialects such as SMB2.1, SMB2 and the older
|
|
Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol. CIFS was the successor
|
|
to the original dialect, the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, the
|
|
native file sharing mechanism for most early PC operating systems.
|
|
|
|
The SMB3 protocol is supported by most modern operating systems
|
|
and NAS appliances (e.g. Samba, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016,
|
|
MacOS) and even in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure).
|
|
The older CIFS protocol was included in Windows NT4, 2000 and XP (and
|
|
later) as well by Samba (which provides excellent CIFS and SMB3
|
|
server support for Linux and many other operating systems). Use of
|
|
dialects older than SMB2.1 is often discouraged on public networks.
|
|
This module also provides limited support for OS/2 and Windows ME
|
|
and similar very old servers.
|
|
|
|
This module provides an advanced network file system client
|
|
for mounting to SMB3 (and CIFS) compliant servers. It includes
|
|
support for DFS (hierarchical name space), secure per-user
|
|
session establishment via Kerberos or NTLM or NTLMv2, RDMA
|
|
(smbdirect), advanced security features, per-share encryption,
|
|
directory leases, safe distributed caching (oplock), optional packet
|
|
signing, Unicode and other internationalization improvements.
|
|
|
|
In general, the default dialects, SMB3 and later, enable better
|
|
performance, security and features, than would be possible with CIFS.
|
|
Note that when mounting to Samba, due to the CIFS POSIX extensions,
|
|
CIFS mounts can provide slightly better POSIX compatibility
|
|
than SMB3 mounts. SMB2/SMB3 mount options are also
|
|
slightly simpler (compared to CIFS) due to protocol improvements.
|
|
|
|
If you need to mount to Samba, Azure, Macs or Windows from this machine, say Y.

allow optional logging of slow responses to dmesg (depending on the
|
|
value of /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI, see fs/cifs/README for more details).
|
|
These additional statistics may have a minor effect on performance
|
|
and memory utilization.

help
|
|
Modern dialects, SMB2.1 and later (including SMB3 and 3.1.1), have
|
|
additional security features, including protection against
|
|
man-in-the-middle attacks and stronger crypto hashes, so the use
|
|
of legacy dialects (SMB1/CIFS and SMB2.0) is discouraged.
|
|
|
|
Disabling this option prevents users from using vers=1.0 or vers=2.0

help
|
|
Modern CIFS servers including Samba and most Windows versions
|
|
(since 1997) support stronger NTLM (and even NTLMv2 and Kerberos)
|
|
security mechanisms. These hash the password more securely
|
|
than the mechanisms used in the older LANMAN version of the
|
|
SMB protocol but LANMAN based authentication is needed to
|
|
establish sessions with some old SMB servers.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option allows the cifs module to mount to older
|
|
LANMAN based servers such as OS/2 and Windows 95, but such
|
|
mounts may be less secure than mounts using NTLM or more recent
|
|
security mechanisms if you are on a public network. Unless you
|
|
have a need to access old SMB servers (and are on a private
|
|
network) you probably want to say N. Even if this support
|
|
is enabled in the kernel build, LANMAN authentication will not be
|
|
used automatically. At runtime LANMAN mounts are disabled but
|
|
can be set to required (or optional) either in
|
|
/proc/fs/cifs (see fs/cifs/README for more detail) or via an
|
|
option on the mount command. This support is disabled by
|
|
default in order to reduce the possibility of a downgrade
|
|
attack.

If unsure, say N.

Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by

the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page for details).

CIFS maps the name of extended attributes beginning with the user
|

namespace prefix to SMB/CIFS EAs. EAs are stored on Windows
|
|
servers without the user namespace prefix, but their names are
|
|
seen by Linux cifs clients prefaced by the user namespace prefix.

The system namespace (used by some filesystems to store ACLs) is

not supported at this time.
