as for older dialects such as the Common Internet File System (CIFS)
protocol which was the successor to the Server Message Block
(SMB) protocol, the native file sharing mechanism for most early
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, 2012 and 2016

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.
The intent of this module is to provide the most advanced network
