That is why I am trying to determine where it originated from, etc.  If there might be a newer version of it, or if it’s still the best way of mounting a CIFS share on FreeBSD.

If I am not mistaken, our SMBFS comes from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbfs/

https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/contrib/smbfs/README?view=markup

And was last updated in 2002.

However, as I posted earlier, it seems to be relatively performant for
me, in straight line read/write. I am do more testing if someone has a
specific workload in mine.
