Hi,

        I have a set of Linux file servers running in the system. Linux 
machines are hooked up to these server through NFSv3, Windows machines
through Samba. Our Linux pool ran into problem with NFS capacity, it turned out 
to be either NFS or kernel bugs. Moving to NFSv4 is not a
choice since we have to update too many clients/servers. I was wondering if 
switching the whole system to Samba-based would solve the
problem? I have some question that I couldn't figure it out.

        1. How to make Samba stores the ownership of the file? Afaik Samba 
changes ownership of the file to the connected user. Our storage relies
on uid/gid a lot.

        2. Can Samba obey umask settings? Apart from changing values in create 
mask ?

        If anyone could point me to any resource, that would be greatly 
appreciated.

Thank you!
Pakorn
