In addition to the cifs.ko changes, we should probably also list overlayfs (used for container and transactional update workloads) and squashfs. cephfs was supported alongside SES, but I'm not sure whether the client remains supported against non-SUSE servers. IIUC, ocfs2 is supported for customers who purchase SLE-HA.

cc'ing Luis who may be able to fill in some details regarding cephfs client support status.

I just noticed that this is covered in the overview section https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP5/html/SLES-all/cha-filesystems.html# .

I would update the smbfs line with:

cifs - Network file system client for mounting SMB/CIFS shares.  The
client supports authentication via Kerberos/NTLMv2/NTLM, encryption,
packet signing, snapshots, distributed caching (leases), DFS,
directory leases, deferred closes, Unicode and multichannel.  SMB
protocol versions supported: 3.1.1, 3.0.2, 3.0, 2.1, 2.0 and 1.0.

@ddiss, @jmcd: does the above look good to you?

I haven't mentioned RDMA (smbdirect) as we currently don't have it enabled.  The reason for that is because it lacks upstream support and testing.

Looks fine, although I don't think an exhaustive list of features belongs in the 
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP5/html/SLES-all/cha-filesystems.html#tab-filesystems-other table. Perhaps just keep the first sentence and put the remaining feature list in a separate section / chapter?

Makes sense.

Makes sense.

So please update the "smbfs line with

  cifs - Network file system client for mounting SMB/CIFS shares.
