Samba 3.0.6 server or later includes the ability to create such symlinks safely by converting unsafe symlinks (ie symlinks to server files that are outside of the share) to a samba specific format on the server that is ignored by local server applications and non-cifs clients and that will not be traversed by the Samba server). This is opaque to the Linux client application using the cifs vfs. Absolute symlinks will work to Samba 3.0.5 or later, but only for remote clients using the CIFS Unix extensions, and will be invisible to Windows clients and typically will not affect local applications running on the same server as Samba.}(hj8hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1hhhhKhj]hhubeh}(h]samba-considerationsah ]h"]samba considerationsah$]h&]uh1hhhhhhhhKubh)}(hhh](h)}(hUse instructionsh]hUse instructions}(hjQhhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1hhjNhhhhhKubh)}(hOnce the CIFS VFS support is built into the kernel or installed as a module (cifs.ko), you can use mount syntax like the following to access Samba or Mac or Windows servers::h]hOnce the CIFS VFS support is built into the kernel or installed as a module (cifs.ko), you can use mount syntax like the following to access Samba or Mac or Windows servers:}(hj_hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1hhhhKhjNhhubj)}(hJmount -t cifs //9.53.216.11/e$ /mnt -o username=myname,password=mypasswordh]hJmount -t cifs //9.53.216.11/e$ /mnt -o username=myname,password=mypassword}hjmsbah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]jjuh1jhhhKhjNhhubh)}(hBefore -o the option -v may be specified to make the mount.cifs mount helper display the mount steps more verbosely.

This can also be useful when mounting to most versions of Samba (which also forbids creating and opening files whose names contain any of these seven characters). This has no effect if the server does not support Unicode on the wire. nomapchars Do not translate any of these seven characters (default). nocase Request case insensitive path name matching (case sensitive is the default if the server supports it). (mount option ``ignorecase`` is identical to ``nocase``) posixpaths If CIFS Unix extensions are supported, attempt to negotiate posix path name support which allows certain characters forbidden in typical CIFS filenames, without requiring remapping. (default) noposixpaths If CIFS Unix extensions are supported, do not request posix path name support (this may cause servers to reject creatingfile with certain reserved characters). nounix Disable the CIFS Unix Extensions for this mount (tree connection). This is rarely needed, but it may be useful in order to turn off multiple settings all at once (ie posix acls, posix locks, posix paths, symlink support and retrieving uids/gids/mode from the server) or to work around a bug in server which implement the Unix Extensions. nobrl Do not send byte range lock requests to the server. This is necessary for certain applications that break with cifs style mandatory byte range locks (and most cifs servers do not yet support requesting advisory byte range locks). forcemandatorylock Even if the server supports posix (advisory) byte range locking, send only mandatory lock requests. For some (presumably rare) applications, originally coded for DOS/Windows, which require Windows style mandatory byte range locking, they may be able to take advantage of this option, forcing the cifs client to only send mandatory locks even if the cifs server would support posix advisory locks. ``forcemand`` is accepted as a shorter form of this mount option. nostrictsync If this mount option is set, when an application does an fsync call then the cifs client does not send an SMB Flush to the server (to force the server to write all dirty data for this file immediately to disk), although cifs still sends all dirty (cached) file data to the server and waits for the server to respond to the write. Since SMB Flush can be very slow, and some servers may be reliable enough (to risk delaying slightly flushing the data to disk on the server), turning on this option may be useful to improve performance for applications that fsync too much, at a small risk of server crash. If this mount option is not set, by default cifs will send an SMB flush request (and wait for a response) on every fsync call. nodfs Disable DFS (global name space support) even if the server claims to support it. This can help work around a problem with parsing of DFS paths with Samba server versions 3.0.24 and 3.0.25. remount remount the share (often used to change from ro to rw mounts or vice versa) cifsacl Report mode bits (e.g. on stat) based on the Windows ACL for the file. (EXPERIMENTAL) servern Specify the server 's netbios name (RFC1001 name) to use when attempting to setup a session to the server. This is needed for mounting to some older servers (such as OS/2 or Windows 98 and Windows ME) since they do not support a default server name. A server name can be up to 15 characters long and is usually uppercased. sfu When the CIFS Unix Extensions are not negotiated, attempt to create device files and fifos in a format compatible with Services for Unix (SFU). In addition retrieve bits 10-12 of the mode via the SETFILEBITS extended attribute (as SFU does). In the future the bottom 9 bits of the mode also will be emulated using queries of the security descriptor (ACL). mfsymlinks Enable support for Minshall+French symlinks (see http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/UNIX_Extensions#Minshall.2BFrench_symlinks) This option is ignored when specified together with the 'sfu' option. Minshall+French symlinks are used even if the server supports the CIFS Unix Extensions. sign Must use packet signing (helps avoid unwanted data modification by intermediate systems in the route). Note that signing does not work with lanman or plaintext authentication. seal Must seal (encrypt) all data on this mounted share before sending on the network. Requires support for Unix Extensions. Note that this differs from the sign mount option in that it causes encryption of data sent over this mounted share but other shares mounted to the same server are unaffected. locallease This option is rarely needed. Fcntl F_SETLEASE is used by some applications such as Samba and NFSv4 server to check to see whether a file is cacheable. CIFS has no way to explicitly request a lease, but can check whether a file is cacheable (oplocked). Unfortunately, even if a file is not oplocked, it could still be cacheable (ie cifs client could grant fcntl leases if no other local processes are using the file) for cases for example such as when the server does not support oplocks and the user is sure that the only updates to the file will be from this client. Specifying this mount option will allow the cifs client to check for leases (only) locally for files which are not oplocked instead of denying leases in that case. (EXPERIMENTAL) sec Security mode.

CIFSMaxBufSize defaults to 16K and may be changed (from 8K to the maximum kmalloc size allowed by your kernel) at module install time for cifs.ko. Setting CIFSMaxBufSize to a very large value will cause cifs to use more memory and may reduce performance in some cases. To use rsize greater than 127K (the original cifs protocol maximum) also requires that the server support a new Unix Capability flag (for very large read) which some newer servers (e.g. Samba 3.0.26 or later) do. rsize can be set from a minimum of 2048 to a maximum of 130048 (127K or CIFSMaxBufSize, whichever is smaller)}(hj* hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1hhhhMohj' ubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhj ubeh}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhhhMyhjubj)}(htwsize default write size (default 57344) maximum wsize currently allowed by CIFS is 57344 (fourteen 4096 byte pages)h](j)}(hwsizeh]hwsize}(hjH hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhhhM}hjD ubj)}(hhh]h)}(hndefault write size (default 57344) maximum wsize currently allowed by CIFS is 57344 (fourteen 4096 byte pages)h]hndefault write size (default 57344) maximum wsize currently allowed by CIFS is 57344 (fourteen 4096 byte pages)}(hjY hhhNhNubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1hhhhM|hjV ubah}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhjD ubeh}(h]h ]h"]h$]h&]uh1jhhhM}hjubj)}(hXactimeo=n attribute cache timeout in seconds (default 1 second).

Samba, Windows servers and many NAS appliances support DFS as a way of constructing a global name space to ease network configuration and improve reliability.h]hX6DFS support allows transparent redirection to shares in an MS-DFS name space. In addition, DFS support for target shares which are specified as UNC names which begin with host names (rather than IP addresses) requires a user space helper (such as cifs.upcall) to be present in order to translate host names to ip address, and the user space helper must also be configured in the file /etc/request-key.conf.
