Thanks to IBM for allowing me time and test resources to pursue +this project, to Jim McDonough from IBM (and the Samba Team) for his help, to +the IBM Linux JFS team for explaining many esoteric Linux filesystem features. +Jeremy Allison of the Samba team has done invaluable work in adding the server +side of the original CIFS Unix extensions and reviewing and implementing +portions of the newer CIFS POSIX extensions into the Samba 3 file server. Thank +Dave Boutcher of IBM Rochester (author of the OS/400 smb/cifs filesystem client) +for proving years ago that very good smb/cifs clients could be done on Unix-like +operating systems. Volker Lendecke, Andrew Tridgell, Urban Widmark, John +Newbigin and others for their work on the Linux smbfs module. Thanks to +the other members of the Storage Network Industry Association CIFS Technical +Workgroup for their work specifying this highly complex protocol and finally +thanks to the Samba team for their technical advice and encouragement. + +Patch Contributors +------------------ +Zwane Mwaikambo +Andi Kleen +Amrut Joshi +Shobhit Dayal +Sergey Vlasov +Richard Hughes +Yury Umanets +Mark Hamzy (for some of the early cifs IPv6 work) +Domen Puncer +Jesper Juhl (in particular for lots of whitespace/formatting cleanup) +Vince Negri and Dave Stahl (for finding an important caching bug) +Adrian Bunk (kcalloc cleanups) +Miklos Szeredi +Kazeon team for various fixes especially for 2.4 version. +Asser Ferno (Change Notify support) +Shaggy (Dave Kleikamp) for innumerable small fs suggestions and some good cleanup +Gunter Kukkukk (testing and suggestions for support of old servers) +Igor Mammedov (DFS support) +Jeff Layton (many, many fixes, as well as great work on the cifs Kerberos code) +Scott Lovenberg +Pavel Shilovsky (for great work adding SMB2 support, and various SMB3 features) + +Test case and Bug Report contributors +------------------------------------- +Thanks to those in the community who have submitted detailed bug reports +and debug of problems they have found: Jochen Dolze, David Blaine, +Rene Scharfe, Martin Josefsson, Alexander Wild, Anthony Liguori, +Lars Muller, Urban Widmark, Massimiliano Ferrero, Howard Owen, +Olaf Kirch, Kieron Briggs, Nick Millington and others.
