What are the differences between illumos kernel CIFS, Linux kernel CIFS and Samba? [closed]
I'm aware of the comparison between kernel CIFS and Samba package in illumos.
What are the differences between illumos kernel CIFS and Linux kernel CIFS?
Moreover, I read that kernel CIFS is the new preferred way, but Ubuntu still talks about installing Samba.
How do the three alternatives compare? Theoretically and in practical terms (including ACLs).
Edit: see also Linux CIFS utils:
The in-kernel CIFS filesystem is generally the preferred method for
mounting SMB/CIFS shares on Linux.
The in-kernel CIFS filesystem relies on a set of user-space tools.
That package of tools is called cifs-utils. Although not really part
of Samba proper, these tools were originally part of the Samba
package. For several reasons, shipping these tools as part of Samba
was problematic and it was deemed better to split them off into their
own package.

@DanielB then why is that (wiki.samba.org/index.php/LinuxCIFS_utils) "The in-kernel CIFS filesystem is generally the preferred method for mounting SMB/CIFS shares on Linux.

@DanielB thanks, I really didn't notice. I guess the question is of little significance now.
