RUMP_SMBFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     RUMP_SMBFS(8)

NAME

     rump_smbfs -- mount a smbfs share with a userspace server

SYNOPSIS

     file-system PUFFS
     pseudo-device putter

     rump_smbfs [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).
