NSMB(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual NSMB(4)
NAME
nsmb -- kernel SMB protocol communicator
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device nsmb
DESCRIPTION
This virtual device is used by SMBFS filesystem for actual communication with SMB servers. It provides the physical transportation, encapsu-
lating the networking part of SMBFS. Only SMB over TCP/IP is supported at this moment, SMB over NetBIOS is not supported.
For the SMBFS kernel support to work, it's necessary to have both this pseudo-device and file-system SMBFS configured into kernel.
SEE ALSO
mount_smbfs(8)
HISTORY
This driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.4. In NetBSD, this first appeared in NetBSD 2.0, together with rest of SMBFS support.
