Are there any gotchas? R/O sharing with only one writer shouldn't be a problem. R/W sharing will take some planning, in that file locking is done differently in Samba and NFS, and consistency may not be maintained to all the various locking possibilities. Also, Windows apps tend to rely on byte-range locks, which aren't really implemented very well in NFS. > I would also like to bring in SMB file sytem from z/OS. For > this to happen, I need to demonstrate success with SAMBA. Use the NFS client. The SMB support for z/OS is pretty unpleasant. You may also want to look at BSI's NJE/Bridge, if the problem is reliable, easily automated file transfer from z/OS to Windows. NJE is a lot easier to use than the SMB or NFS clients in that file transfer becomes the problem of coding a DEST=(node, user) on your DD card. I like that abstraction. Is that just one way - from mainframe to outside? I will google for it though. Currently we use Enterprise Connect on z/OS for data exchange. Not that I am a fan of it.
