The in-kernel CIFS filesystem is generally the preferred
|
|
|
|
|
method for mounting SMB/CIFS shares on Linux. The in-kernel
|
|
|
|
|
CIFS filesystem relies on a set of user-space tools. That
|
|
|
|
|
package of tools is called cifs-utils. Although not really
|
|
|
|
|
part of Samba proper, these tools were originally part of
|
|
|
|
|
the Samba package. For several reasons, shipping these tools
|
|
|
|
|
as part of Samba was problematic and it was deemed better to
|
|
|
|
|
split them off into their own package.
