How to test SMB3 using Samba?

[peixing.sun at emc.com]

Hi Jeremy:

Thanks for your information.

But Window 8 and SMB3 will be released late 2012,  EMC will also release new products that support SMB3.
It's too late to get Samba to support SMB3 "over a year or so"

You're in the wrong place :-). You should be here
at the SambaXP conference where Michael and Metze
are in the middle of their talk describing how we
are planning to do this :-).

Short answer - no currently shipping production
releases (Microsoft Windows included) currently
support SMB3 (it'll be in Windows8). We're planning
to implement it inside Samba over the next year
or so.
