5 | The author wishes to express his appreciation and thanks to: |
6 | Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS |
7 | improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue |
8 | this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to |
9 | the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features. |
10 | Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server |
11 | side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing |
12 | portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank |
13 | Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client) |
14 | for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like |
15 | operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John |
16 | Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to |
17 | the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical |
18 | Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally |
19 | thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement. |
