I have not rooted (yet) but when I run a 'cat /proc/filesystems' I do not see any form of cifs in there. Can anyone confirm if there is any means of cifs support to access network shares?
i'd like to know too. I'm rooted and installed cifs manager but couldnt get it working. I get the message: no such device.
it used to work on my old motorola xoom running omnirom. What is missing?

I'm rooted and use ES Explorer to browse shares on my Lan.
Don't know if it's useful for you or if you want to use native commands ...

Hi,
Have looked around and cannot find a solution to the following.
I've setup my main NAS using anonymous or guest access to everything no user or pass required etc.
I'm attempting to mount in CIFS manager and others but no luck says mounts but when i try and open nothing. Basically it should just be 192.168.0.10/public and straight there.
I've tried CIFS with the "guest" username and no luck using file expert and anonymous access i can see the share but i really want to mount it...I know CIFS is working as i've used it to mount my downloading NAS fine....
Any ideas?
Hello.
I'm using stock 2.3.5 and would like to get access to some network shares on my home network.
When CIFSManager try to mount a network share it returns error: "out of memory"
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thank you.
Evidently it requires something changed in kernel. Installed .41 kernel and now it's working.
I use the free version of AndSMB
I have a NAS drive connected to my Netgear router. Using ES File Explorer I can connect to the drive with my Nook tablet and Nexus 7, but for some reason my Asus TF300 does not detect the drive. Any ideas why the tf300 does not detect the drive?

what rom? You should try to use cifs to connect but your kernel needs the libraries hence the question. Untermench has a kernel with cifs. much better than es explorer crapware.
How is your nas volume being shared out? samba I assumed.

Stock ROM, stock kernel, locked, and rooted. I use ES file explorer because it works well streaming video. And yes, it is smb.

If you can find the cifs lib or a kernel wuth them built in cifs works awesome. it mounts your nas smb share as a file system so it looks like any other file system on your device. Performance is great too.
obv since your locked you can't install a kernel unless your unlocked.
Hi all
After some time i switched to nexus 5 and my sl is gaining dust..
I want to make it a torrent client, but I need space. as I understand it's impossible for the SL to support otg, so I've started to look for CIFS support ( the ability to mount SMB shares as local, in order to permit torrent apps to write directly on lan disks).
I didn't find anything stable enough ( some kernel with cifs support break the wifi, pretty useless)
It's anyone interested in this thing? I don't know how, but is i understand the only thing to do is to compile a module, CIFS.KO for the kernel in use on a rom,then use a simple app called Mount Manager , or CIFSManager to mount that disk.. so:
Can anyone compile cifs.ko for any rom with 3.0 kernel? I'll use that rom even if it's cm11, 10 ,9 ecc..
Has anyone been able to mount SMB shares under Lollipop using CIFSManager or something similar? I want to mount a SMB share as a local folder so all applications can access it. If you've been able to do this please share how.
First step is to install a kernel that supports it. Stock kernel does not. Check the development section for a cifs enabled kernel.
Mounting the share will likely be a bigger challenge, though I cold be mistaken.
