So why bother with Linux alongside Windows then? Windows is just one platform. ;-> > Just because you are technically right, doesn't make it the easiest > to maintain ( and therefore more reliable because the sysadmin has > less to remember ). Again, I make the above argument. In fact, I think others have made the argument with ADS** too (as much as that makes me cringe).

So _what_ do you advocate for _Linux_? Especially Linux-to-Linux file services? And something that has full inode compatibility for Linux applications? >From what I can tell, all you're advocating is *1* platform. And given that we're talking Samba, why not just stay Windows _instead_? Or is there another aspect I'm not seeing? Or have you not followed NFSv4 developments at all? Even for just Linux-to-Linux? > I'll be leaving now. There's no point in staying. Silly me for > thinking LPI was different. *MY* views do *NOT* represent those of LPI in general. They are just my views based on my experience. Since you have a _great_amount_ of experience, again, what do *YOU* recommend for Linux-to-Linux file sharing? What ways have you found to deal with SMB that is better than NFS? How do you get around the issue that some applications segfault when they use VFS layer functions that clearly fail with the current SMBfs VFS support and only work when the exported filesystem has inodes in the network filesystem protocol itself? How do you handling SMB automounting? Do you use the kernel automounter? What type or version (AutoFS v4? AMD? Other?) Or do you use the pam_smb plug-in for login time mount? Or are you going to continue to dodge those _technical_ questions, and leave your comments at the "meta-data" level of "easier to support just 1 thing"? -- Bryan J.
