[elrepo] is SMB2 enabled on kernel-lt and kernel-ml?

[Jordi Pujol]

so true...... thanks!
Now the question is, does/would ELRepo consider enabling this feature in
the future? IMHO it's quite a relevant one for network shares (SMB v2.1
is in use since Windows 7 and v2.2 aka 3 is already out there), and thus
it can potentially save to many of us having to compile the Kernel and
keeping close track of security issues, patches, etc.

Best regards,
Jordi
