this overrides the default gid for inodes.

unused.

Note that this does not affect the normal ACL check on the

nosetuids The client will not attempt to set the uid and gid on
on newly created files, directories, and devices (create,
mkdir, mknod) which will result in the server setting the
uid and gid to the default (usually the server uid of the

netbiosname When mounting to servers via port 139, specifies the RFC1001
source name to use to represent the client netbios machine
name when doing the RFC1001 netbios session initialize.
This has no effect if the server does not support
Unicode on the wire.

The mount.cifs mount helper also accepts a few mount options before -o
including:

to values supplied at mount (rather than the

+ code).
These experimental features and tracing can be enabled by changing flags in
/proc/fs/cifs (after the cifs module has been installed or built into the
kernel, e.g. insmod cifs). To enable a feature set it to 1 e.g. to enable
tracing to the kernel message log type:
- echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
+ echo 7 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI
-and for more extensive tracing including the start of smb requests and responses
+cifsFYI functions as a bit mask. Setting it to 1 enables additional kernel
+logging of various informational messages. 2 enables logging of non-zero
+SMB return codes while 4 enables logging of requests that take longer
+than one second to complete (except for byte range lock requests).
+Setting it to 4 requires defining CONFIG_CIFS_STATS2 manually in the
+source code (typically by setting it in the beginning of cifsglob.h),
+and setting it to seven enables all three. Finally, tracing
+the start of smb requests and responses can be enabled via:
echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/traceSMB
