Re: How to use SMB Direct

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

 



Hello Xiaoli,

cifsd is an in-kernel SMB server which supports SMB Direct.
If you want to test SMB Direct with cifs, you can use cifsd.

Currently we have tested SMB Direct between two old fashioned
Mellanox ConnectX devices which are connected directly,
and between two soft RoCE devices in kernel.

You can get cifsd's code from the following url, and
If you have any questions, we will help you.

https://github.com/cifsd-team/cifsd.git

Thank you.
