Container --> Options --> Features --> CIFS ???

[UdoB]

Hello,

when I configure a Container on the latest PVE 7.0-11 I see some checkboxes/flags under --> Options --> Features (Nesting/NFS/CIFS/FUSE/Create Device Nodes).

The corresponding documentation is https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#pct_configuration --> 11.10.3. Options --> features.

I am running a single container with a Samba-Server on a dedicated MicroServer Gen10 Plus, without setting that "CIFS"-flag - and it works well. This is a homelab, but for me it is "productive" and important, so I do not what to play around without knowing what I am doing

Just because I am curious: what could possibly be the effect when I set/reset the offered "CIFS"? What is it for?


Best regards

it allows mounting cifs shares inside the container (it modifies the generated apparmor profile to allow that).

it modifies the generated apparmor profile to allow that

Ah! Thanks for the answer
