Hi guys,

what will the proxy be able to do without a caching function ? Can I mitigate the slow performance of the share with Samba as a proxy or is there a way to "attach" a cache to it ?

How could a custom VFS module be setup ? Do you know someone who could do this for me ?

thx & kind regards,

martin.

Maybe you could do this with a custom VFS module.

To set "msdfs proxy" parameter, Samba can act as a simple CIFS proxy
(with no cache function).
