We did a migration from a Windows email server a while back (about 40,000 mail boxes). As customers logged into the FreeBSD boxes, a process was kicked off to copy email from the Windows box to the FreeBSD boxes, this being done using SMB + some parsing in the script. This worked flawlessly for about 10 million files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I think you are. We should care about a KERNEL module being bug free and high performance. If not, hey why not just use DOS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

We are considering using an application that uses FreeBSD web servers in front of Windows file servers. How reliable/scalable is the kernel SMB module? no idea. it worked many times when i wanted to fetch few files from windows. but i don't think anyone really cares very much about it being very well tested, bug free and high performance (i may be wrong here). it's not the way unix is used in normal cases :) (reverse is true) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
