[PATCH] cifs: mark CONFIG_CIFS_NFSD_EXPORT as BROKEN (resend)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This will never work properly with CIFS, as the protocol has no ability
whatsoever for looking up files by filehandle. It *might* be possible to
eventually do this with SMB2, but that remains to be seen.

For now, it just plain doesn't work. Mark it BROKEN to discourage
distros from enabling it.
