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).
