The file system specification for CIFS and SMB are essentially the same,
in fact, CIFS is just the new name for server message block network file
systems, the name was changed to reflect the fact that it was becoming
somewhat of a standard to "common internet file system". The improvements
in CIFS are minor and can be likended to the difference between NFSv2 and
NFSv3 :)
