[Samba] smb 3 posix extension support (minimum version for cifs.ko and smbd)
Hi everyone, Steve and Jeremy gave a great talk at SambaXP on SMB3 with Posix extensions. The death of SMB1 gets nearer ! I was wondering what is the minimum Samba version and minimum Linux kernel version in order to get that support. Cheers, Denis -- Denis Cardon Tranquil IT 12 avenue Jules Verne (Bat.

You get the point? :) It's still being worked on... -slow -- Ralph Boehme, Samba Team https://samba.org/ Samba Developer, SerNet GmbH https://sernet.de/en/samba/ GPG-Fingerprint FAE2C6088A24252051C559E4AA1E9B7126399E46

For the server code (and samba tools like smbclient) it is not merged yet - but can be tried by using https://git.samba.org/?p=jra/samba/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master-smb2 The kernel code is partially merged, minimum version to experiment with the POSIX extensions is kernel version 5.1 but the ability to query POSIX information (stat, query info) is not in the upstream kernel client yet (since we didn't want to merge that if there was a good chance it could change due to testing we are doing with Jeremy's server code). Target for those remaining features is kernel version 5.4, although some improvements (querying symlinks for example) will be in kernel version 5.3.
