6Andrew Tridgell (Samba team) for his early suggestions about smb/cifs VFS
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -0700[diff] [blame]7improvements. Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue
8this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to
9the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features.
10Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server
11side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing
12portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700[diff] [blame]13Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client)
Steve French966ca922005-04-28 22:41:08 -0700[diff] [blame]14for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like
15operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John
16Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700[diff] [blame]17the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical
18Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally
19thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement.
