Is there any way to compile smbfs module in kernel 3.10 running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I did a 'make menuconfig' and it shows cifs. I found out online that smbfs is deprecated and replaced by cifs. I have an old system with kernel version 2.4 which only has smbfs (no cifs). Is it possible to compile smbfs in newer kernel versions?
Why no go with the flow? Mounting samba shares.... cifs or smbfs???? - Unix and Linux | DSLReports Forums
