+ This enables experimental support for the SMB2 (Server Message Block
+ version 2) protocol. The SMB2 protocol is the successor to the
+ popular CIFS and SMB network file sharing protocols. SMB2 is the
+ native file sharing mechanism for recent versions of Windows
+ operating systems (since Vista). SMB2 enablement will eventually
+ allow users better performance, security and features, than would be
+ possible with cifs. Note that smb2 mount options also are simpler
+ (compared to cifs) due to protocol improvements.
