If you have no idea, you probably don't need it It's for mounting network shares on your phone.

You set it up by adding the path to the network share you want access to and where you want it mounted, then you select to mount it. That's it.

Ok, I have a FREENAS server running with SMB/CIFS. I can access it NO PROBLEMS within windows environment using the folders windows to see my server.
I tried googling CIFS but there's really nothing about exactly why or how I can mount this within Linux or my Desire using CIFS manager. It doesn't work. I don't understand?
In linux I'm trying just mount -t cifs //Serendipity/DataServer /mnt/abc
and this doesn't work..
I get this error message like mount: wrong fs type, bad option ................. etc
Please help, or help me understand how CIFS works, I really don't know why it's so difficult to mount, just like any other mount or NFS.
Excuse the newb question. I'm trying to watch movies on my phone stored on my home NAS over the internet. Tried some options but nothing has worked solidly. (e.b. BubbleUPNP server needs java, my older NAS doesn't support this).
Looks like a great option is CIFS support on phone, then just mount and access remote files like local ones. Is this possible on the E4T?
I'm currently running Calkulin 2.0.1.
cheers.
yes. just note that not all kernels/roms include the module. check your /lib/modules and see if you find cifs.ko in that folder. if it's there, make sure your fav cifs manger (CifsManager in my case) loads that module with insmod. if i remember correct, last kernel i used that had cifs was LostKernel from chris41g
edit: just checked and Rogue kernel has it too
I'd like to be able to check my /sdcard and/or other partitions as well for errors on filesystem.
I'm a little confused which command/partition to use and how, can someone perhaps provide a right syntax?
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
I'm looking for some advice on gettings CIFS working so I can mount network storage to my phone. The phone is connected to the network full time as a gaming platform and requires in app access to network files (ROMS) to play various games. The only way I can figure out how to access the ROMs is through mounting.
So, I've played around a bit with CIFS apps and haven't had much luck. I've tried CIFSmanager and Mount Manager.
The phone is running Android 4.2.2 AOKP milestone 2 and 3.0.85 lean kernel 7.1-00041 gc1d5b9c. The phone is rooted of course and running busybox.
I'm guessing the problem is a lack of CIFS modules. When I check system/lib/modules/ none of the cifs stuff is there. Getting the CIFS modules for the correct kernel seems somewhat challenging.
Can someone point me in the right direction or alternate paths I can take?
Hey, I kno its possible to view network shares and access them on android with apps like solid explorer and es explorer, but is there any way to mount a network share into jb/kk do that other apps can access the data natively (like poweramp for example) ?
I vaguely recall it working on my nexus s on ICS , but I can't seem to find any information about JB/KK. I tried both CIFS manager as well as the other mount manager app and neither of them seem to work. Anybody with any suggestions ?
You would need a kernel with loadable module support, Google removed it.
This is a good place to start:

Hi all, if your goal is simply to play music and video from your NAS to your android device, you can use Kodi (xbmc) that can access cifs path directly!
I would like other apps to be able to access the contents of a shared network drive.
