That's what we're doing, Mark. Converted Netware to Samba on a z900, taking about 5 to 10 mips of the processor during the busiest times. Enterprise wide access to the server from all of our locations (about 50). We have about a 10th of your data, though, preferring to entrust our Terabytes to the likes of DB2, UDB, VSAM, et al. Handling that much data will take some thought and planning, although is certainly is possible.

The current environment is Novell Netware on 4 X Intel servers, approx 750 desktops, approx 3 million files using about 1TB disk. Our management is open to a Linux on mainframe solution but I don't want to put up a technical solution if it is not robust and scalable. We are running OS/390 on a 9672-R36 (G5), OSA-2 fast ethernet. Is Samba going to work well in a real-life production environment? Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.
