CIFS client update

Blog post by Obaro Ogbo on Sat, 2009-07-04 16:03

The journey so far.

I have implemented basic file system interface functionality including mount and unmount, and can load it directly as a kernel addon and via userlandfs. At present the client expects just the server ip address and the share name in the format :. I have begun implementing protocol negotiation, and hope to complete the setup of a session using LANMAN in the next few days. I had hoped to have begun implementing file actions by now but unfortunately I'm quite a way from that.

Back to coding

Great to hear progress on this very important project! I wish you all the best and a productive time and I look forward to when I can just mount SMB shares in Haiku. Please don't hesitate to utilize the help of the other Haiku developers! :-)

Any updates on this? Has this project been abandoned?

I asked about this on the mailing list and Bruno replied: "Obaro never completed his assignment so there is no useful code to look at."
