Linux Kernel CIFS Client
The Linux cifs kernel client has been included in the kernel since 2.5.42. The cifs protocol (and related earlier SMB dialects) is the default ("vers=1.0") but support for newer dialects (SMB2.02, SMB2.1 and SMB3 and SMB3.02) can be selected by specifying "vers=2.0" or "vers=2.1" or "vers=3.0" or "vers=3.02" on mount.
