Support for SMB shares

Open jpROC1 opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Nvidia has a known issue with the inability to mount CIFS and SMB shares when using the Mellanox OFED kernel.

issue: 2657392

Nvidia state this is not something they produce so do not support it. They recommend rebuilding the cifs module against the Mellanox kernel modules.

CIQ have released a guide on rebuilding cifs without smb-direct support. Could something like this be implemented into the azure hpc images?
