I would love to see this implementation succeed (Samba is too big and not portable enough for my use case), but there have definitely been challenges.
- sanxiyn 4y agoIsn't in-kernel implementation necessarily more kernel specific? How is ksmbd more portable than Samba?
- anderspitman 4y agoSorry, portable was a poor word here. Since I'm using Linux, being built in makes it easy for me to use. But if samba shipped as a small static executable that would be even easier.
- ilyt 4y agoI guess you could shove it into container. But SMB in general is complicated mess that only gets more complicated for backward compatibility sake. Comprehensive implementation almost by definition have to be complex. Small "local users only" implementation would certainly be welcome but I don't see the benefits of keeping it in kernel.
