samba - May 2008 - tdb samba and NTFS ACL Support

Hi -

 

i was wondering how a ctdb samba (or IBM SOFS) solution provides full NTFS
ACLs support?

- Is there a specific vfs module which must be loaded? etc...

 

I am in the process of designing a very large fileserver within an Active
directory domain.

I have seen a SOFS presentation on the web and was wondering if the ctdb
samba & gpfs

approach would be an reasonable solution?

 

Any information regarding this particular setup would be greatly appreciated

 

Best regards,

 

Evan

Samba can use the NFSv4 ACLs that a filesystem might
provide. These are really close to NTFS ACLs. GPFS does so.

There's a bunch of ctdb/samba/gpfs specific smb.conf
settings that must be activated for proper operation, you
might want to contact the IBM SOFS Team for exact details.

I'd say this is a really good solution, but I'm a bit
biased, because I've done a lot of work in that area :-)
