CIFS is a file system sharing protocol 
developed by Microsoft and intended for 
Windows. Through CIFS, files can be 
transferred and shared between Windows 
clients.

Generally, CIFS shares provided by storage 
systems are public directories and can be 
accessed by all authorized users. If you 
want to set a private directory, enable 
Homedir so that each user can only access 
the directory that shares the same user 
name with the user.
