For compliance reasons we're required to enforce encryption on SMB which means using SMBv3.  We're trying to setup backups via CIFS but it only appears to support SMBv2 which does not work with SMB encryption.  Looking online I found that SMBv3 was supported in Linux kernel 3.12 or later.

What's the blocker with OME that is keeping it from working with SMBv3 and what's the timetable to implement it?
