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.
