Hi Daniel,
Can you specify what NFS features are important to you in such case?
(in other words please define "look like NFS")

Oh - you want me to be specific?  What fun would that be? ;-)

Ok, specifics...

I'm trying to run an IMAP mail server (Dovecot) in a virtual machine. However, I do not want the messages stored within the virtual disk. So - the question was how the virtual machine could access those files. Dovecot has been setup and tested with NFS. However, when I asked about compatibility with CIFS, I was told it would probably not work. Testing on my own showed that in fact that this resulted in problems - it appeared temp files would be created and never deleted. I tried a few different smb.conf & mount parameters that SEEMED appropriate - but wasn't able to get it to work. So...

I guess my specific question would be how can I setup CIFS so Dovecot will work with it as happily as it does with NFS?
