Has anyone run Samba on a cluster? Did you find a way to make it make efficient use of the clustered resources? Is there any plan in the future to create smbd/nmbd that takes advantage of a cluster? Thanks Steve Litt

More work needed :-).

This is the killer app for Linux, clustering and Samba. And Mindcraft thought they had problems before :-) Steve Litt
