sambaXP 2024: Improving Access to Remote Files from Linux – progress in the SMB3.1.1 client
Talk by Steve French (Microsoft / Samba Team)
Abstract:
Another great year of progress in improving access to Samba and other servers from Linux. The Linux SMB3.1.1 client, cifs.ko, continues to be one of the most active filesystems in Linux. With many improvements added each year to securely, reliably and efficiently access remote data, it has been an exciting year. This presentation covers new features added to the Linux client, and new features you can expect to see over the coming year. Whether accessing data from the smallest devices or the largest (and even the cloud), getting at remote files matters. Over the past year, significant improvements have been made to metadata and directory caching, multichannel performance, POSIX/Linux compatibility, security enhancements, symlink handling, remote swapfiles, improved readahead, better file caching, improved TMPFILE support, and broader support for special file types.
