NAME
nsmb —
kernel SMB protocol
communicator
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device nsmb
DESCRIPTION
This virtual device is used by SMBFS filesystem for actual communication with
SMB servers. It provides the physical transportation, encapsulating the
networking part of SMBFS. Only SMB over TCP/IP is supported at this moment,
SMB over NetBIOS is not supported.
For the SMBFS kernel support to work, it's necessary to have both this
pseudo-device and file-system SMBFS configured into kernel.
