Smbfs and VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE

[ediondo69]

Hi, yesterday I downloaded the source code for my new kernel and proceeded to compile it. My FreeBSD 9.0 machine mounts automatically a smbfs filesystem, but there was a problem. Everytime I used [CMD=]mount[/CMD] or [CMD=]mount_smbfs[/CMD]:

# vfs_domount_first: Mounting non-MPSAFE fs (smbfs) is disabled

After reading some information, I found this:

http://wiki.freebsd.org/NONMPSAFE_DEORBIT_VFS

So, I added the option

VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE

to my kernel configuration and compiled it again. Now my PC can mount the smbfs filesystem but displays:

# vfs_domount_first: Mounting non-MPSAFE fs (smbfs) is deprecated

Is there another type of filesystem for a Samba share?

I am having the same problem, but haven't recompiled my kernel yet, as it does seem to solve the problem, as shown above.
Strange is that nautilus does handle the samba mount without problems.

I recently just upgraded to FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT and noticed this exact same thing on /usr/src/UPDATING. It's still unclear to me if and how support for smbfs will continue.

I also found this on http://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD10:

No non-MPSAFE FS (atillio) (B11, E11)
SMBFS, HPFS, MWFS, NTFS, CODAFS, XFS, ReiserFS
Sync SMBFS with OSX (jpaetzel) (E11)

What does "sync SMBFS with OSX" mean?
Also has anyone tested the tools that come with net/samba34 for mounting the partitions?
