Hello, I have the following situation: I have two offices, which both require local speed access to their file shares. Currently there is a single windows server that provides network shares to both offices, the remote one through a vpn.
I have used Samba since the early days, and am quite familiar with it's capabilities and limitations, however I have never tried to perform replication with it. My current plan, which certainly has some limitations is to take 2 samba servers, put one in each office. Rsync the two every half an hour. This will provide redundancy and solve the major problem at hand, but will introduce new problems. 30 minutes is too long, and users may work on the same file simultaneously resulting in a conflict and changes lost. Has anyone approached this problem before? What replication options work well with the current stable build of samba? Is there any way to replicate when a file is locked, so the user will get the warning that the file is locked? Any feedback would be helpful, even if it is a link.
