Replacing the OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) SMB Stack with Samba3
A couple months back, I was excited to hear that Apple was working on a new SMB stack for their new operating system, OS X 10.9. However, once it finally hit, I realized that the new stack was even worse than the old one. I was unable to mount CIFS or SMB shares on our local storage cluster (a lovely 2 petabyte capacity Isilon cluster), getting error messages in system logs that looked like the following:
2/24/14 2:47:34.000 PM kernel[0]: smb_smb_ssnsetup: HOSTNAME doesn’t support extended security, this server will be deprecated in the future!
