said by vue666:When mounting a samba share which is better to use cifs or smbfs
ie:
mount -t smbfs -o username=you,password=secret //192.168.1.100/shareddrive /mnt/smb
OR
mount -t cifs -o username=you,password=secret //192.168.1.100/shareddrive /mnt/smb
I've been using cifs
cifs is the new prefered method... IIRC smbfs is being phased out completely. I think it currently only exists for backwards compatibility.
