I think I might have tried this before and couldn't get it to work though.

Computing > Linux > Howto narky Fri, 03 Nov 2006 10:17:39 GMT http://linux-cifs.samba.org/ The CIFS VFS is a virtual file system for Linux to allow access to servers and storage appliances compliant with the SNIA CIFS Specification version 1.0 or later. Popular servers such as Samba, Windows 2000, Windows XP and many others support CIFS by default. The CIFS VFS provides some support for older servers based on the more primitive SMB (Server Message Block) protocol (you also can use the Linux filesystem smbfs as an alternative for accessing these). CIFS VFS is designed to take advantage of advanced network filesystem features such as locking, Unicode (advanced internationalization), hardlinks, dfs (heirarchical, replicated name space), distributed caching and uses native TCP names (rather than RFC1001, Netbios names).

(It's also possible to access the data on your H: Drive using other methods like SFTP, but that's another article.) Computing > Linux > Howto narky Tue, 07 Nov 2006 23:03:02 GMT
