There have been some questions about the upgrade of the default client dialect for cifs.ko from CIFS (SMB1) to SMB3 (discussed in earlier email threads), but also requests for clarification of some of the warning messages relating to the default dialect upgrade. While additional changes can be made in mount.cifs to make the warnings clearer, this patch adds additional warnings to the kernel cifs.ko code, and clarifies the kernel log message when the server does not support the requested dialect. See https://git.samba.org/?p=sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7e682f766f289887c5cbf7c0a1e4970103f01ac4 Additional changes are planned in 4.14 to make this easier, and to improve the SMB3.1.1 support which is important for multiple reasons, not just for security improvements but also for the proposed POSIX extensions. -- Thanks, Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
