Computing > HTPC narky Tue, 29 Aug 2006 22:53:47 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).

"The other option of course is to simply nfs or cifs mount the video directory of your slug to a subdirectory of /mnt/videos. Then you don't need step 4, the files just appear as if on the local drive, but when you play them they come over the network via nfs or cifs. (cifs is the samba protocol, I believe it is more capable than smbfs but I can't remember what gave me that impression) " Computing > HTPC > Howto narky Fri, 27 Oct 2006 10:56:47 GMT http://webscript.princeton.edu/~pug/faqwiki/index.php?title=Using_SAMBA/CIFS_to_access_Windows_Shares There are two ways of mounting your H: Drive (and other Windows file-shares from machines on the Princeton domain) * SAMBA * CIFS Both of these efforts are spearheaded by Samba.org (http://us1.samba.org/samba/), an open source implementation of the SMB/CIFS system introduced by Microsoft. (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
