The in-kernel CIFS filesystem is generally the preferred | |
method for mounting SMB/CIFS shares on Linux. The in-kernel | |
CIFS filesystem relies on a set of user-space tools. That | |
package of tools is called cifs-utils. Although not really | |
part of Samba proper, these tools were originally part of | |
the Samba package. For several reasons, shipping these tools | |
as part of Samba was problematic and it was deemed better to | |
split them off into their own package. | |
