Abstract

Samba, the well known open source SMB server software features support for version 2.0 of the SMB protocol since version 3.6. The one omission from SMB 2.0 in Samba 3.6 is support for durable file handles. Meanwhile, Versions 2.1 and (in preview) 3.0 of the SMB protocol are available. Over the last months, the developers have worked hard on implementing "durable handles", SMB 2.1 and a basic support for SMB 3.0. This talk is a report about the development progress of these features that will be available in the next version 4.0 of Samba.
