• Linux Enhanced SMBFS
  Defintely worth a read. Despite the advanced networking capabilities of Linux, the only network filesystem which is available seems to be NFS. There are others but they are either still in development, not free or not featured enough to act as a replacement for NFS... unitl now. Enter SMBFS. SMBFS allows Linux to mount a remote SMB share but until now it did not act like a UNIX file system, even if the remote host was Samba running on a UNIX or Linux machine. This page is the home of the CIFS for UNIX implementation for SMBFS. Along with the server side Samba implementation, directories can now be mounted across the network using SMB.
