| 20 | This tool is part of the
|
|---|
| 21 | \fBsamba\fR(7)
|
|---|
| 22 | suite\.
|
|---|
| 23 | .PP
|
|---|
| 24 | mount\.cifs mounts a Linux CIFS filesystem\. It is usually invoked indirectly by the
|
|---|
| 25 | \fBmount\fR(8)
|
|---|
| 26 | command when using the "\-t cifs" option\. This command only works in Linux, and the kernel must support the cifs filesystem\. The CIFS protocol is the successor to the SMB protocol and is supported by most Windows servers and many other commercial servers and Network Attached Storage appliances as well as by the popular Open Source server Samba\.
|

| 27 | .PP
|
|---|
| 28 | The mount\.cifs utility attaches the UNC name (exported network resource) to the local directory
|
|---|
| 29 | \fImount\-point\fR\. It is possible to set the mode for mount\.cifs to setuid root to allow non\-root users to mount shares to directories for which they have write permission\.
|

| 30 | .PP
|
|---|
| 31 | Options to
|
|---|
| 32 | \fImount\.cifs\fR
|
|---|
| 33 | are specified as a comma\-separated list of key=value pairs\. It is possible to send options other than those listed here, assuming that the cifs filesystem kernel module (cifs\.ko) supports them\. Unrecognized cifs mount options passed to the cifs vfs kernel code will be logged to the kernel log\.
|
|---|
| 34 | .PP
|
|---|
| 35 | \fImount\.cifs\fR
|
|---|
| 36 | causes the cifs vfs to launch a thread named cifsd\. After mounting it keeps running until the mounted resource is unmounted (usually via the umount utility)\.

| 42 | \fIUSER\fR
|

| 43 | is used\. This option can also take the form "user%password" or "workgroup/user" or "workgroup/user%password" to allow the password and workgroup to be specified as part of the username\.
