I have tested that samba and cfs under linux will work together,
i.e. you serve plaintext across the net and it's magnetic home is
as cyphertext where CFS directories have been made. It's the cyphertext
that you get backed up on tape. I've recommended this arrangement to
someone. (cfs is available from replay.com.)
I have not tried soft RAID and how it might interact with the above.
Hobbit has an article at {www,ftp}.avian.org called "CIFS" on the traffic
visible when SMB shares are in use. For the problem of hardware theft that
is not the main concern.
