[Samba] Samba 4 Alpha 17 to 4.0.x update - questions concerning S3FS / NTVFS
We had used Samba 4 alpha 17 for a long time and want to update our
server now to Samba 4.0.x.
The old Samba versions was using NTVFS and Samba 4.0.x is now using S3FS
by default.
So, what is the best practice now? Should we stay on NTVFS or should we
switch to S3FS?
The global part of our smb.conf looks like this:
---
[global]
interfaces = eth0
netbios name = PDC
passdb backend = samba4
realm = MYDOMAIN.LAN
# Global parameters
server role = domain controller
server string = PDC
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
---
When we start Samba 4.0.x with this configuration, is it using NTVFS
like before or is it using S3FS then?
Thx for help!
