[options] share mountpoint |
DESCRIPTION
NOTE! This manual page describes features specific to the rump(3) file server. Please see mount_smbfs(8) for a full description of the available command line options.The rump_smbfs utility can be used to
mount smbfs file systems. It uses
rump(3) and p2k(3) to facilitate running the file system as a server in
userspace. As opposed to
mount_smbfs(8), rump_smbfs does not
use file system code within the kernel and therefore does not require kernel
support except puffs(4). Apart from a minor speed penalty there is no
downside with respect to in-kernel code.
Even though the rump_smbfs file system
client runs within a virtual rump kernel in userspace, it uses host network
services (by means of “rump sockin”). This means that
regardless of whether using rump_smbfs or
mount_smbfs(8), the same network configurations will be used.
Currently, “sockin” supports IPv4.
To use rump_smbfs via
mount(8), the flags -o
rump and -t
smbfs should be given. Similarly,
rump_smbfs is used instead of
mount_smbfs(8) if “rump” is added to the
options field of fstab(5).
