Hey I am very new to Samba. Can anyone tell me what is samba doing in the following case: Mulitple Samba Servers sharing a DFS. A client connects to a samba Server. The server dies, a Load Balancer redirects the packets coming from the client to another Samba Server. So the packets are for example read Requests. What is samba doing in this case, when it gets read Request before an open Request has occured. Does Samba discard all Requests that dont have a matching UID and TID??? Thanks in advance.
