Re: [Samba] Sharing a shared folder
You know, thinking about it, this may be more of a imaging services change...but since the new server is running imaging services that dish out the image file that is mounted to the server then it is not really sharing the mounted file the samba client is just getting the file from the old server and then the new server is just pushing it out to the client...don't think there is much I can do about that.

[Samba] Sharing a shared folder
Hey, So, I have a Linux server that is mounting a CIFS share. The server then shares that share to everyone else. My question is does having it routed this way cause a major slow down? Do the files need to be copied to the mediator server before going out to the device that is requesting the file? Or is it able to forward the request to the other server to grab the files directly from there? I am curious about this because we have a big imaging server with a whole bunch of images on it and we are setting up this new server and don't want to move all the images over, thus we just mounted the images directory on the new server.
