[RFC PATCH v2 3/5] smbfs: update doc references

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

 



Update documentation that referenced "cifs" (the module) to use "SMBFS"
or "smbfs".

Update reference to the module's directory from "fs/cifs" to "fs/smb".

Keep "/proc/fs/cifs" references as they are for now.
