Re: [Samba] Sharing same directory with Samba and NFS

2009-07-21 Thread jrmailgate-samba

I'm running a single RHEL5 server that is currently serving out home
directories and a public share via Samba. My Linux desktop clients would
like to access these same shares via NFS. So, the age-old question, is it
possible or am I looking at a lifetime of pain and corrupted data?

I will eventually be running a cluster of 3 servers, one running Samba, one
running NFS and one as a standby.

I've read that it's possible but. nothing really specific.

Hi.

I can only speak anecdotally, but we've been using Samba to serve filesystems 
to Windows clients from a Solaris server while simultaneously sharing the same 
filesystems to other Solaris, AIX and Linux boxes using NFS for over ten years 
without any issues.

It certainly works for most normal cases, it can get a little
funny when you need specific behaviors with notifications etc.

[Samba] Sharing same directory with Samba and NFS

This topic seems to rear its head every now and then, but I can't seem to
get a definitive answer
