Windows NFS server versions on Windows Server older than 2012 release use for storing char and block devices modified SFU format, not compatible with the original SFU. Windows NFS server on Windows Server 2012 and new versions use different format (reparse points), not related to SFU-style. SFU / SUA / Interix subsystem stores the major and major numbers as pair of 64-bit integer, but Windows NFS server stores as pair of 32-bit integers. Which makes char and block devices between Windows NFS server <<2012 and Windows SFU/SUA/Interix subsytem incompatible. So improve Linux SMB client. When SFU mode is enabled (mount option -o sfu is specified) then recognize also these kind of char and block devices and its major and minor numbers, which are used by Windows Server versions older than 2012.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
