CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX: CIFS POSIX Extensions

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX has multiple definitions:

CIFS POSIX Extensions found in fs/smb/client/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CIFS_POSIX:

• prompt: CIFS POSIX Extensions
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_CIFS && CONFIG_CIFS_ALLOW_INSECURE_LEGACY && CONFIG_CIFS_XATTR
• defined in fs/smb/client/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 6.4–6.8, 6.9-rc+HEAD

Help text

Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to negotiate a feature of the older cifs dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate CIFS POSIX ACL support. This config option is not needed when mounting with SMB3.1.1. If unsure, say N.

Enabling this option will cause the cifs client to attempt to negotiate a newer dialect with servers, such as Samba 3.0.5 or later, that optionally can handle more POSIX like (rather than Windows like) file behavior. It also enables support for POSIX ACLs (getfacl and setfacl) to servers (such as Samba 3.10 and later) which can negotiate CIFS POSIX ACL support. If unsure, say N.
