CIFS integration in Solaris

Friday, November 23. 2007

There is some additional media coverage about the OpenSolaris CIFS integration: Serverwarch reports about the CIFS integration in Sun Looks Beyond Samba . Even the New York Times reports about it, as cited at osnews.com.

There are many people who thing "Why do we need CIFS in Solaris? We have Samba?". I wouldn´t bring it to this point. I think, CIFS in Solaris and Samba can coexist: The creation of an AD substitution is not the target behind in-kernel CIFS. Thus a combination of the in-kernel CIFS as blazingly fast fileserver and Samba as a AD controller would be a excellent way to serve windows clients.

wie viel kommt eigentlich in den kernel?

Um es mit Eric Schrock (einer der Entwickler zu sagen): "It's worth noting that not all of the CIFS code lives in the kernel. The performance sensitive pieces and those need to interact directly with the underlying FS is in the kernel, while the annoying complicated parts (MLRPC, identity mapping, etc) is implemented in userland with door calls between the two."
